FAQ:
1. What happens if I don't configure this cut off time?
Ans:- If the timing is not configured then at the time of raising indent the cut off time based validation does not happen.
2. What happens if I try to raise indent after cut off time?
Ans:- The system won't allow you to raise after cut off time for that particular day. Indent can be raised only if current time is less than or equal to configured time.
3. What time format does the screen support?
Ans:- As of now the screen supports only 12 hours format with AM and PM configuration.
4. Which time will be considered branchwise or item sku type wise?
And:- It works based on the configuration 'Indent cut off time validation on Item Sku type'. If configuration is enabled, then cut off time configured for sku type will be considered. If configuration is disabled, then cut off time configured for branch will be considered.
