Picking

Settings for warehouse picking: automatic barcode generation, assignment in the picking table as well as configurable field, product and specialization lists.

On the Picking settings page, administrators define the behavior of warehouse picking. Here it is controlled whether barcodes are generated automatically, whether assignment may be performed directly in the picking table, and which fields, products and specializations are available as parameters of the shipping units.

Note: This settings area is only shown if the picking module (Picking) is activated for the tenant.


1. Navigation

The settings are accessible via the main menu under Settings. There, select the Picking tab. After adjusting the values, save the changes via the save button of the settings page. The configuration then applies tenant-wide to picking.


2. Generate Position Barcode Automatically

With the checkbox «Generate Position Barcode Automatically» you define whether the system generates barcodes automatically for picking positions.

This is how you use the option:

  1. Open the Picking tab.
  2. Activate the checkbox «Generate Position Barcode Automatically».
  3. Save the settings.

If the option is activated, the system automatically assigns a barcode to each position during picking. The warehouse staff therefore does not have to create the barcodes manually. If the option is deactivated, no barcodes are generated automatically.


3. Assign / Reassign in the Picking Table

With the checkbox «Assign/Reassign in the Picking Table» you activate the actions for assigning and reassigning shipments directly in the picking table.

This is how you use the option:

  1. Open the Picking tab.
  2. Activate the checkbox «Assign/Reassign in the Picking Table».
  3. Save the settings.

If the option is activated, the buttons for assigning and reassigning are available to the warehouse staff directly in the picking table – without having to open a separate dialog for this. If the option is deactivated, these actions are hidden in the table.


4. Field List of the Shipping Unit

Via the field list you configure which fields are shown as parameters of a shipping unit during picking. The list is a multi-selection field in which several fields can be stored simultaneously.

This is how you maintain the list:

  1. Click in the input field of the field list.
  2. Start typing a field name. While typing, the system suggests matching fields.
  3. Select the desired field from the suggestion list. It is added as an entry to the list.
  4. Repeat the process for all required fields.
  5. Save the settings.

The selected fields then appear during picking as parameters of the respective shipping unit. Entries already stored can be removed again individually.


5. Product List

The product list determines which products are relevant for the parameters of the shipping units in picking. This too is a multi-selection field.

This is how you maintain the list:

  1. Click in the input field of the product list.
  2. Type a product name. While typing, the system suggests matching products.
  3. Select the desired product from the suggestion list.
  4. Add further products as needed.
  5. Save the settings.

The stored products are available to picking as a selection for the parameters of the shipping units. Individual entries can be removed again at any time.


6. Specialization List

The specialization list defines which customer-specific specializations are relevant for the parameters of the shipping units in picking. Like the other lists, it is a multi-selection field.

This is how you maintain the list:

  1. Click in the input field of the specialization list.
  2. Type a designation. While typing, the system suggests matching customer-specific specializations.
  3. Select the desired specialization from the suggestion list.
  4. Add further specializations as needed.
  5. Save the settings.

Only customer-specific specializations are offered for selection. The stored specializations are then available during picking as parameters of the shipping units. Individual entries can be removed again.


7. Notes

  • All settings of this tab only take effect after saving.
  • The configuration applies tenant-wide and affects all subsequent picking operations.
  • The entire Picking tab is only visible if the picking module is activated for the tenant.
  • The suggestion lists of the field, product and specialization fields each only search the entries available for the tenant.
