  How to use it: 
  Surplus delivery can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used to identify excess stock in one store and deliver it to another store or customer, or it can be used to identify excess stock in multiple stores and deliver it to a single store or customer. The system also allows retailers to set up rules for when and how surplus deliveries should be made. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using surplus delivery, it is important to ensure that the rules set up are appropriate for the retailer’s needs. For example, if a retailer wants to ensure that all excess stock is delivered within a certain time frame, they should set up rules that specify when deliveries should be made. Additionally, retailers should consider setting up rules that prioritize certain types of deliveries over others.
