Batch Picking Example
You have three sales orders with various quantities of six finished goods, located at six different locations. When you print the pre-shipper for the sales orders, the system initiates warehouse batch-picking functionality. The picklist and tasks state that you have nine tasks to pick six different items—FG1 through FG6—for the three orders. Tasks for Three Orders lists the pick tasks for the three orders.

A box is needed per order. You set the reference as a box and the first box ID to start at ID 1285622. Reordered Tasks shows how the system reorders the tasks by location. The locations are restructured to shorten the travel sequence, but actual picking of quantities and the orders themselves have not changed.
