Batch- and multi-order-picking

To learn more about the picking methods, take a look at the picking documentation. The fulfillment developer docs hold more information about creating pick jobs, defining picking methods, and API usage.

Batch-picking

Tasks eligible for batch picking are marked with a checkbox. All selected tasks are included in the pick run. Clicking 'TASKS SELECTED' enters the picking UI. All subsequent steps are the same as in the single order picking process.

Multi-order-picking

Tasks eligible for multi-order-picking are marked with a checkbox. All selected tasks are included in a pick run. Clicking 'START PICKRUN' enters the next step.

Before picking begins, a preview is presented, including the load units that may be required for the task. The app suggests a number of load units to provide an indicator for planning the pick run.

The picking process begins, and the picking list is displayed. Each picking task (one per customer) is assigned at least one load unit, ensuring that by the end of the process, all items are organized by picking task, thus eliminating the need for an additional packing step. Before the assignment, the load unit is shown as 'N/A' in the line item.

Once assigned, the load unit ID will be (partially) displayed.

Assigning load units by scan

When the user picks the first item, they are prompted to either scan a new load unit or assign it manually.

Assigning load units manually

By clicking 'Manually assign load unit', an input field for the load unit ID opens.

The user can enter a load unit ID consisting of 4 characters.

If load unit types are defined, the user is also prompted to provide this information.

Once completed, the assignment of the picked item to the load unit is finalized, and the subsequent process proceeds identically to the load unit scan process.

Recommended load unit

When picking an item that belongs to a picking task (customer) already assigned to a load unit, that specific load unit will be recommended for scanning or manual assignment.

If the load unit is not suitable or is already full, the user can scan another new load unit to assign the item automatically.

This new load unit will then become the recommended load unit for this picking task (customer).
