If you choose None for any of the criteria fields, Inventory ignores that criterion. For example, if you choose None for Revision, Inventory picks units of an item without regard to revision levels.

Oracle Inventory looks at the picking criteria in the order in which they appear in the Picking Rules window. Then, Inventory looks at the options (except for None options) for each criterion in the order in which they appear beneath each criterion.
