Picking

Two modules are available for picking, covering different ways of working:

Module Tile Basis
Pick List "Pick orders" Bundle multiple sales orders into a single pick list
Warehouse Activity "Process warehouse documents" BC warehouse documents (picks)

Warehouse Mode decides – only one module is active

The two modules are mutually exclusive. The Warehouse Mode in the Setup determines which one is available: Order Picking (without BC WMS) → Pick List, BC Warehouse Picks (with WMS) → Warehouse Activity. A conflicting terminal override is rejected.

Pick List

Bundles multiple released orders into one consolidated pick list – ideal for walking a single tour through the warehouse and fulfilling several orders at once.

Workflow:

  1. Select orders – mark multiple released orders (multi-select).
  2. Consolidate – the app combines identical items across all orders into a total quantity per item number.
  3. Pick – work through the consolidated list; the orders are released for warehouse activity.

Pick List Mode

In the Setup, Pick List Mode determines whether a separate pick list is created per order (Single) or several orders are picked together (Batch/wave picking).

Warehouse Activity (warehouse documents)

Works on the BC warehouse documents (warehouse activity, e.g. picks). The badge shows open documents for the terminal's location.

Workflow:

  1. Select document – pick it from the list or search by the document's barcode.
  2. Lock – the document is locked for the terminal so no one works on it in parallel.
  3. Confirm lines – depending on the Pick Confirmation Mode (Setup, overridable per terminal): None (display only), Manual (check off), Scan barcode (scan the item barcode per unit) or Enter quantity (type the picked quantity).
  4. Register – register the document (posts the warehouse activity in BC).
  5. Release – the lock is cleared again.

Locks prevent duplicate work

While being processed, the document is locked for other terminals. If a device crashes, the lock expires automatically after the Lock Timeout; the administrator can clear it immediately via Cleanup Expired Locks.

Which module? – the Warehouse Mode decides

The user does not choose situationally; the administrator sets the working model once:

Warehouse Mode Active module When
Order Picking (without BC WMS) Pick List Warehouse without BC bin management – pick directly against orders
BC Warehouse Picks (with WMS) Warehouse Activity Warehouse with BC warehouse (pick) documents
