Pick by Bin Module

Overview

Bin-based picking helps you streamline your picking paths, reduce travel time, and improve order fulfillment speed. Instead of moving from bin to bin inefficiently, this method prioritizes picking all available units from a single bin first before moving to the next one. Learn more about the different picking methods here.

Pick by Bin

• Search All – Search for all PickLists and filter by a specific product. Narrow down the search results even further by searching for a specific SKU/UPC or Picked status.
