Creating New Job Types in LoadIQ

This SOP outlines the steps to create new job types for existing job types in LoadIQ for a specific distribution centre. Only Administrators will have permission to edit and/or create job types. Once these job types are created, you can assign these job types to different loading bays at each distribution centre.
