To confirm shipment of items
You use picking to remove items from stock and move them to the shipping dock to be shipped. The shipping dock is usually the default location for outgoing items.
You create a pick request in response to a sales order (or a parts list, for manufacturing systems). You use pick requests to generate suggestions for locations from which to pick items. The system tracks the items in each location. You can find locations containing the items you need to ship and then create suggestions to pick from those locations.
You can use the locations that the system suggests for you or use different locations. You then confirm your chosen locations to move the items from the picking location to the shipping dock and to update the system's inventory records. Then, you confirm shipment to indicate that you shipped the items to the customer.
The picking process includes:
Working with pick requests
Working with pick suggestions
