The system contains sequence logic that optimizes picking material for orders, and tracking programs that help you track orders through the warehouse from picking to delivery, confirming each stage in your warehouse's process. Confirming stages using the Warehouse Picking Confirmation Queue during the picking and shipping process eliminates potential shipping errors.
When the system receives a sales order or a transfer order, it provides the pick locations on the pick ticket using the picking allocation logic described in Automated RF Pick Allocation Logic. The system allocates picks to send pickers to as few locations in the warehouse as possible to fill an order.
See the following topics for a visual flow of the recommended process for picking and shipping orders. Although these topics provide a recommended process, the process to optimize the picking and shipping flow in your warehouse may vary.

The system checks to see if an order is open in Order Entry before allowing the pick ticket to close and displays a notice if the order is still open. The order must be closed through Order Entry before the pick ticket can be closed.
