Enable “Inbound Services by Item”

The issue is that Inbound currently does not allow assigning services by item, while Outbound does.
I imagine this option may have been disabled because, if services are added to a product, they currently appear in both places (Inbound and Outbound).
The solution would be to enable a setting where pre-assigned product services can be designated specifically for either Inbound or Outbound, using a simple checkbox to select one or the other or both.

Advantages of adding “Inbound Services by Item”:

1. Advance preparation and storage ready for dispatch:

By applying services by item during Inbound, products would be prepared and stored already ready to ship. This way, if a client requests a large quantity of a product or there is an urgent situation due to unexpected stock-out, the shipment can be made immediately without extra steps.

2. Realistic bundle management

Currently, the way the system reflects bundles is not efficient, because the quantity marked as “available” is not real — those bundles are not actually prepared.

Inventory should distinguish between “Potential Available” (calculated from loose units) and “Real Available” (bundles that have already been prepared).

During Inbound, clients should be able to decide how many bundles to prepare by simply adding the bundle item and quantity.

This would ensure inventory clearly separates bundle information and reflects only what is actually ready to ship.

3. More efficient and focused Outbound

Outbound would remain reserved for exceptional cases (e.g., relabeling, FNSKU changes, or other specific incidents).

This would reduce delays and improve responsiveness.

Overall Benefit

With Inbound Services by Item, preparation is shifted to the moment of receiving goods. Products are stored already ready for dispatch, and urgent situations can be handled immediately. The flexibility to decide whether product-level services are applied in Inbound or Outbound (via a simple checkbox) ensures accuracy, avoids duplication, and gives each prep center the workflow best suited to its operations.
