Pick path

Picking shows which location to take how much of each requested product from. Stock with an expiry date is offered earliest-expiring first, and the steps are ordered by the warehouse's location layout.

Start picking from the warehouse page on the Picking tab (only shown for a warehouse divided into locations), or on mobile under Warehouse Terminal → Picking.

  1. Add the products and quantities.
  2. Click Generate path.
  3. The system lists the steps: location, product, quantity and, where relevant, batch number and expiry.
  4. Mark each finished step Done. If the goods are not in a location, skip the step. On mobile you can scan the location's QR code to confirm you are in the right place.
  5. Finalize picking records an outbound movement for each completed step. Stock does not change until you do this.

How the path is built:

  • It uses only free (unreserved) stock that is assigned to a location.
  • Lots with an expiry date come first, earliest expiry first.
  • Steps are ordered by the warehouse dimensions (e.g. shelf first, then row), so you can walk the locations in order.
  • If stock is short, the warning Insufficient stock for some items. appears.
