Overview
The Order Based picking module is located within Skustack’s Picking tab.
Order-based picking enables you to pick items on a picklist, order by order. This is an effective workflow for orders with multiple items, as the items can be picked and grouped together by the warehouse picker for packing. Learn more about the different picking methods here.
There are three modes for searching orders:
- Search by ID – Search for a specific PickList.
- Search All – Search for all PickLists and filter by a specific product.
- Search by Order – Search for a specific order on a PickList.
Search by PickList ID
Searching by PickList ID allows you to see all products on a specific picklist. You can then go into each item and see all open orders for picking.
- Select Search By ID from the search mode dropdown.
- Enter the PickList ID and tap Search.
- Products on that PickList will load. The number of orders picked and the total number of orders required will display. Swipe down to see the number of picked units and the number of total units in all orders.
