Fishbowl Settings

1 min read Updated October 28, 2026

Fishbowl settings apply to everyone in the warehouse. These options are specific to Fishbowl, and other systems may not support them.

Fishbowl settings control receiving and picking rules that are saved to Fishbowl. To open them, go to Settings and select Fishbowl.

Receiving

Reference number: adds an optional Reference # field to the receive screen, saved to each received line in Fishbowl. Turn it off to hide the field.
Over-receipt allowance: caps how far over the ordered quantity a line may be received.
- Leave it blank for no limit. Over-receipts are flagged but allowed.
- Enter 0 to block any over-receipt.
- Enter a percentage to allow that much over. For example, 10 allows up to 10% over.

See the Receiving page.

Require full quantity: no partial picks. Every line must be picked in full before the pick finishes.
Overpicking allowance: how far over a line’s quantity a user may pick. 0 caps picking at exactly the line quantity. For example, 10 allows up to 10% over.
Choose a put-to location: lets pickers set where stock goes on each line, written to the pick’s destination in Fishbowl. When off, Fishbowl sends picks to Shipping automatically.
Show non-pickable locations: shows locations Fishbowl flags as not usable for picking. When off, the pick source list shows only pickable locations.

See the Picks page.
