Show Future Orders

When returning an asset, it's important to know whether the asset is already reserved for any upcoming orders. This helps in making an informed decision about where to place the returned asset—either back into its warehouse bin or aside for inspection and preparation.

This feature allows you to view future orders of the asset being returned. By enabling this option, the system will display any orders scheduled within a configurable number of days. With this visibility, you can efficiently plan your return process and ensure the product is ready and available for its next shipment.

This option is available both in Batch Return and Return by Order task.
