Product Based Picking (Mobile App)

Overview

Product-based picking allows you to gather all units of a specific product required for a picklist in one workflow. This method is ideal for single-item orders and can improve picking efficiency by consolidating picks for the same SKU. Learn more about the different picking methods here.

Products will only be available for picking when the orders are both In Process and Charged.

Product Based Picking

To initiate Product-based picking:

Open a picklist and select Product based, from the Picking toggle to view products and their required quantities.
Swipe down to see the number of picked units and the number of total units in the PickList.
Tap the product's three-dot menu to reveal shortcuts to:
- Bins - Displays all bins in which this item’s units are stored.
- Info - Directs you to the product details.
- Product Flag - Tap on this shortcut to add a Product Flag.
To filter products by different parameters, tap the Filter icon at the top right. From there, you can filter by inventory availability, single or multi-item orders, rush or picked status, flagged products, region, and more.
Scan a Product ID/UPC barcode, or select a product manually. The product pick dialog will open. To reveal the product's full alias, press and hold its ID.
Enter the bin from which you are picking or select the suggested bin. The suggested bin may appear next to the Bin field. This suggestion is based on the following factors:
1. The bin is sellable. Although unsellable bins are excluded from the suggestions list, you can still manually enter an unsellable bin name if needed.
2. The bin type is Normal or Temp.
3. Primary bins will always be suggested first.
4. The bin with the most or least quantity will be suggested based on the client setting PickList Bin suggestion sort qty by ASC Order.
Scan units to add to the picked qty or adjust the number manually. To auto-populate the total quantity available for the scanned product in that bin, enable Skustack’s Warehouse Management setting Auto populate progress quantity when bin is selected.

To switch between positive and negative movements for serialized products, tap on the green + icon. Note that the +/- indicator must be red in order to unpick products with serial numbers.
Tap on the three-dot menu in the upper right-hand corner to:
1. Flag - Use this option to Flag the item and indicate specific concerns.
2. Reset Dialog - Use this option to remove selected data from the picking dialog.
3. Print Labels - This option allows you to print a custom number of product labels with the product’s Barcode. Use the up and down arrows, or simply add the required number of labels. Check the Include Product Name box, to include the product name in the labels. Once done, tap Print.
If the Lot Number workflow is enabled for your company and the product is set as expirable, you must select a Lot Number before being able to pick it. When an item is picked from a bin containing only one Lot Number, Skustack will automatically populate that Lot ID.
Tap Pick to update the picked quantity. The quantity picked will be transferred to the Picking Bin and the PickList will be updated.
Once all items are picked, tap picklist's three-dot menu and select Print order confirmation to print a Picklist label, or configure your Skustack settings to auto-print labels for every unit picked.

To print product labels as QR codes, enable Setting Print labels as QR codes.
