Consolidating picking of goods

Related topics

The process of consolidating (grouping) sales order lines into one consolidated pick list gives you the possibility to simplify the picking of goods and perform picking in an efficient way. You achieve this by consolidating several orders and order lines, within the same warehouse, to be picked together. A consolidated pick list is a number of order lines grouped together (assigned) under a common identity, namely the pick consolidation number.

Options
You can select an unlimited number of sales order lines and add them to a consolidated pick list. The system optionally produces individual pick lists parallel to the consolidated pick list.

Weight and volume
The total gross weight and gross volume of a consolidation is automatically calculated by the system and stored in the consolidation header. You can manually change this information; select a preferred vehicle for transporting the goods and select an outpicking location indicating where to put the goods after picking.

Consolidated pick lists allow for a simpler way of adding the contents of multiple pick lists to a shipment via the shipment preparation routine.

Note: If you do not want to use the consolidated picking of goods you can print individual pick lists via the ordinary Pick list printing routine.

Creation
The creation of a consolidated pick list consists of three steps:

  1. the assignment of pick consolidation number
  2. the maintenance of a pick consolidation which is optional and where additional inclusion and exclusions of order lines can be made
  3. the printing of the consolidated pick list.

    4. Note: The system will automatically consolidate multiple orders per customer and delivery address into one pick list if Per customer under the Break pick list heading in the Warehouse table is set to YES.
