Zone Picking for Single Orders

You can activate the Zone Picking system rule to process waves for the Single Order picking type. You can enable the Always Merge Items During Staging setting in the rule. It requires that you stage all the picked items for an order in the same bin. Otherwise, staging of picked items in the same bin remains optional.

To pick single orders from a zone:

Access the order selection page by doing the following:
1. On your mobile device, tap the menu icon at the left corner of the header, and then tap Main Menu.
2. On the Main Menu page, tap Picking.
3. On the Picking page, tap Single Order Picking.
4. On the Select Picking Mode page, tap Released Orders. Then, on the Select Order Type page, tap either Sales Order or Transfer Order.
On the Select Zone page, scan or enter a zone in the field, or tap the zones from the list. Then, tap Enter Zone to proceed.

If you choose the All Unassigned Zones option, you can pick items from bins not associated with zones, including non-inventory items.
On the Select Order page, scan or enter an order number in the field, or tap an order from the list. If you enter the data, tap Enter Order # to proceed.

If you are redirected to this page and you want to change the zone, tap the Back button to return to the Select Zone page.
On the Select Pick Task page, scan or enter a pick task in the field, or tap a pick task from the list. If you enter the data, tap Enter Pick Task to proceed.

  Tip:
  To display the Zone column, tap the table icon. On the popup window, from the Visible Columns list, tap Zone, and then tap Done.
  
  The list displays all the bins that contain the item within the warehouse. You can select a bin that does not belong to the same zone or one not assigned to any zone.
On the Enter Item page, do one of the following:
- In the Scan/Enter Item field, scan or enter the item you want to pick. If you enter the data, tap Enter Item to proceed.
  
  You can scan or enter the item name, number, alias or UPC.

On the Enter Quantity page, depending on the features and rules you use, enter or select values in the following fields:
1. Inventory Status - If you use the Inventory Status feature, you can select the status of an item associated with different statuses.
  
  Tip:
  To display the Status column on the Available Quantity table, tap the table icon. From the Visible Columns list, tap Status. Then, tap Done.
2. To enter the quantity, do one of the following:
  - Enter Quantity - Enter the picked quantity for the item. Otherwise, if you have no available quantity to pick, proceed to step c.
    
    Optionally, beside the field, you can change the unit if the item is associated with multiple units. By default, this field displays the transaction unit. Even if you change the unit, the value in the Quantity Remaining field adjusts automatically based on the default unit.
  - Scan/Enter Item, Scan/Enter Lot, Tally Scan Serial - If you activate the Tally Scanning rule, before you scan the item bar code, make sure you leave the Enter Quantity field blank and select the correct unit. You cannot change the unit after you scan the first item bar code. You can also verify that the correct inventory status is selected, as shown in step 7.a.
    
    For lot or serialized items, you can scan an item bar code that contains the lot or serial number, respectively. Otherwise, you can select the number from the list. For serialized items, tap the toggle to display the list. You can skip step 8.
    
    The values in the Enter Quantity and Remaining Quantity fields adjust automatically.
    
    Repeat this step to scan each item. After you scan the full quantity, the next page appears automatically. You can skip step 7.c.

For serialized items, on the Enter Serial Number page, scan or enter the serial number in the field. If you enter the data, tap Enter Serial Number to proceed.

Repeat this step to enter all the serial numbers for the total picked quantity. If you entered a partial quantity, you are redirected to the Enter Quantity page. You can enter the quantity for another inventory status. Repeat from step 7.
