MKG WebApp: Sign Packing Slip

All registrations you perform via a WebApp are immediately visible in MKG ERP and available to other users. All MKG WebApps are built on the same standardized building blocks and technical foundation. This ensures they work reliably and the operation is recognizable and consistent everywhere.
