0:08
Picking settings open from the warehouse list:
0:11
in the row's menu, next to locations and the warehouse's general settings.
0:16
At the top are the three fundamental decisions.
0:19
"Consolidated picking" sets whether the picker goes order by order or gathers
0:25
everything in a single pass.
0:26
"Assignment strategy" decides what to prioritise when splitting the work:
0:32
maximising complete orders, or respecting the delivery date.
0:36
And "Lot selection" has three modes:
0:38
strict FEFO forces the earliest-expiring lot,
0:42
suggested FEFO proposes it but allows a change, and Free imposes none.
0:47
Below are the three controls over what the picker is allowed to close.
0:52
"Require location scan" forces them to confirm the bin before picking.
0:56
"Allow incomplete orders":
0:58
if it's off, they can't close a task that has short or partial lines.
1:02
And "Allow finishing with shortages" lets them close without walking every line
1:07
— it depends on the previous one, and if that's off, this one is disabled.
1:13
Further down, "The picker assembles the orders" sets who splits the merchandise after a consolidated pass:
1:20
if it's on, the picker does it themselves;
1:22
if not, a supervisor. Turning it on reveals two label options:
1:26
when it gets printed, and whether the format is A4 for a laser printer or A9 for a thermal one.
1:33
"Show timer" shows the picker the elapsed time while they work.
1:37
At the end is everything about substitutions:
1:40
whether they're allowed, whether the system suggests alternatives,
1:44
and whether they're only offered to clients who accept them.
1:48
And automatic replenishment, which requests a refill as soon as a product comes up short.
1:53
It's best to change one option at a time:
1:56
each one changes the work of every picker in the warehouse.
Did you get it?
What does the "Allow finishing with shortages" option enable?
That the picker can close a task without having picked everything
That the system automatically buys the missing stock
That incomplete orders get cancelled on their own
