====== Picking ======
''Sales picking order'' and ''Internal picking orders'' are picked using the same process.
The picking process is split in to 3 main parts.
  - [[#Starting a pick]]
  - [[#Picking the stock]]
  - [[#Storing the picked stock]]

===== Starting a pick =====
{{ :automagic:wms:picking-start.png?200 |}}

Press the ''Ok'' button to start the next pick list in the picking queue.

{{ :automagic:wms:picking-reserve-picklist.png?200 |}}

The next screen shows the details of the picking list.  Click ''Start'' to begin the pick.

===== Picking the stock =====
The first picking screen displays the stock item to be picked and the locations where the stock is stored in the warehouse.  To ensure proper stock rotation, the first location in the list should be used.

==== Next pick ====
In this example we can see there are ''57'' items in the location ''D-05-A-01-C''

To continue the pick you will need to scan any of:
  - The ''unit load'' number.
  - The ''location''
  - The stock item barcode.

==== Confirm pick ====
Confirm the picking quantity and press ''Ok''.  If the actual quantity is different from the required amount, the value should be changed and then press ''Ok''.

Repeat [[#Next pick]]

===== Storing the pick =====
When the picking list is finished, it must be stored into a goods out location.

{{ :automagic:wms:picking-store-unitload.png?200 |}}
Apply a new ''unit load label'' to the pallet or box containing the goods and scan the ''unit load'' number.

{{ :automagic:wms:picking-target-location.png?200 |}}
Scan the location where the ''unit load'' will be stored.

====== What if I fill a unit load half way through the pick? ======
Select ''Action, Finish unit load'' from the [[#Next pick]] screen and follow the [[#Storing the pick]] instructions.

====== There is not enough stock in the location. ======
Enter the actual quantity picked in the [[#Next pick]] screen.  The software will create another pick for the remaining amount and ask for another pick.

====== There is not enough stock to complete the pick. ======
From the [[#Next pick]] screen, select ''Action, Missing''.

====== I want to come back to this item later in the pick ======
From the [[#Next pick]] screen, select ''Action, Skip''.  The pick will pushed to the end of the picking list.

====== The picking location needs replenishing ======
From the [[#Next pick]] screen, select ''Action, Replenish''.  A new replenish order will be created for the main picking location and the current stock item.

====== Why does the software ask for a more than one scan of an item? ======
The software needs to know both:
  * Which item is being picked
  * Where the item is being picked from.

Ideally the warehouse should be arranged so that a location or unit load only contains one item.  However, this is not always possible.  If a ''location'' or ''unit load'' contains two or more items, the software will ask for a second scan of the item.  Two scans will be required in the following situations:

  * A ''mixed unit load'' will require an item scan.
  * A ''location'' will require a ''unit load'' scan if there is more than one unit load on the location.
  * A ''picking location'' will require an items scan or a ''unit load'' scan if there are multiple items assigned to the picking location.
  * An item scan will require a ''location'' scan if it is stored in more than one location. 

====== How can I check a completed pick list to see if the correct items have been picked? ======
See [[automagic:wms:picking-check | Picking check]]

====== How do I deal with weighed and measured items? ======
A weighed or measured items is an item that is set to allow fractional quantities in the stock list.
With fractional items, the WMS will allow the order picker to pick more than the ordered quantity by rounding up to a convenient quantity.

== Default behaviour ==
The default behaviour for factional items is to all the order picking to add up to 10% of the ordered quantity.
for example if the ordered quantity is 50, the order picker can pick any quantity from 50-55.

== Using the outer quantity ==
For weighed or measured items that are sold in packages of a variable amount.  For example:
  1. A cheese product that is sold by weight, but is prepacked into block of between 1kg-1.5kg
  1. Packing film that is sold by length in rolls of 100m-140m.

In these cases, if the outer quantity is set to the maximum packing size, the order picker will be allowed round up to the outer quantity.
