Picking for Multi-Boxes
Batch picking sets the total quantity to pick based on the item, order, or location. However, the actual quantity to pick is not always the same as:
• The total quantity
• The number of items in full boxes
Example: Warehouse staff enter 67 each of an item as the total quantity to pick, but boxes are set to hold 20 each of the item. This means staff can pick three full boxes but cannot complete the pick without the remaining seven items.
Batch picking functionality lets staff pick complete boxes and create additional boxes that have less than the full amount. The system prompts warehouse staff to use another scan method. This lets staff print and paste a pre-printed label on both the full boxes and the newly created box with the remainder of the items.
Batch picking functionality works with settings in Warehouse Maintenance (4.1.1) so that staff can complete picking when the quantity at a location is lower than the task quantity.
