Order processing (B2B/B2C) selection and visibility in app

Bypass Bin selection at Pack Scan
Currently, when a single SKU is allocated from multiple bins, the user needs to pick the SKU by selecting the bin at the pack station.We have provided an option to bypass this selection as the packer is unaware of where the item was picked from.
