# Stage

Staging is the next stage after picking. **Staging** refers to the process of organizing and preparing picked items in a designated area before they are packed and shipped to the customer. Once the items are picked from various warehouse locations, they are gathered in the staging area where they are consolidated, inspected, and readied for packing and shipping.

In XoroWMS, there are two ways to stage items:

1. **Stage By Location**
2. **Stage By OLPN**

### Stage By Location

The **Stage By Location** option allows you to stage items based on their warehouse location. This means that all the items picked from a specific location can be transferred to a designated staging area. This is how it works:

* **Enter the location:** In the **Location** field, enter the warehouse location from which you want to transfer the items. This is the area where the picked items are currently stored.
* **Enter the stage location:** In the **Stage Location** field, input the designated location where the items will be moved. Remember, this location should be of the "Staging Area" type within XoroERP.
* **Click "Stage":** After entering the details, press **Enter** or click **Stage** to move the items from the specified location to the staging area.

### Stage By OLPN

The Stage By OLPN option allows you to stage all the items within a specific OLPN . An OLPN typically contains grouped items; this method transfers all items in the OLPN to a staging area. This is how it works:

* **Enter the OLPN:** In the OLPN# field, input the OLPN from which you want to transfer the items. This identifies the group of items to be staged.
* **Enter the stage location:** In the **Stage Location** field, input the designated location where the items will be moved. Remember, this location should be of the "Staging Area" type within XoroERP.
* **Click "Stage":** After entering the details, press **Enter** or click **Stage** to move the items from the specified location to the staging area.\ <br>
