Picking Items for Single Orders

On your mobile device, you can pick committed items that you have released in wave transactions or added to sales or transfer orders. To review the conditions for orders that you can include in waves, see Releasing Orders to the Warehouse.

When you process an order not released in a wave, NetSuite WMS automatically generates and releases the wave and pick tasks. If your order contains lines from different locations, you process them separately. You can activate the Provide wave status selection rule to generate waves in either Pending Release or Released status. To set up, see System Rules for NetSuite WMS.

When you process orders for warehouses with no bins or non-inventory items, skip the steps for bin entry and staging.
