      Hi vamshikrishna srirangam,

      Thank you writing This Blog,You have Explained all the steps very clearly.

      I also tried to excuete the scenario in our system but While creating Delivery It is throwing Error as Stock Type B Is not supported in your warehouse.

      Do we need to activate something to accept the customer stock or Please suggest solution to rectify this error.

       

      Regards,

      karthik.
