Order Picking

These settings determine the sequence in which items are picked for an order and whether multiple pickers can work on the same order simultaneously.

orderpicking setting.PNG

  1. Select Order Type (Wholesale, Retail, Web, Standard, etc.)

  2. Select Pick Priority

The Pick Priority setting controls the order in which items are presented for picking and dictates whether a single picker or multiple pickers can be assigned to an order.

  • Location (Default):

    • When Location priority is selected, the system guides the picker through the warehouse based on the physical location of the items.

    • By default, with Location priority, there is no user allocation. This means a single picker is expected to pick all the items within a dispatch sequentially based on their location in the warehouse.

  • SKU:

    • Selecting SKU priority enables the allocation of specific product lines (containing the same SKU) to individual pickers.

    • When SKU priority is active, multiple pickers can work on a single order simultaneously. The system will assign all lines within the dispatch that contain the same SKU to the first picker directed to pick that SKU. This allows for parallel picking and potentially faster order fulfillment.

Configuring Pick Priority:

The Pick Priority for a client warehouse can be defined for specific Order Types. This allows you to have different picking strategies for different kinds of orders.

  1. Click “Save Settings” button
