Picklists - Editor
The pick list is a crucial document in logistics and warehouse management that controls the process of picking and retrieving items. This list is generated to give pickers clear guidance on which products to pick from the warehouse in order to fulfill the outgoing orders. The pick list contains detailed information about the items to be removed, including item number, description, quantity, and storage location.
Features of the Pick List:
Item Information: The list contains a detailed listing of the items that need to be outsourced for the pick list orders. This includes the item number for unique identification, a clear description of the item and the quantity required.
Storage location information: The pick list indicates where the items to be retrieved are located in the warehouse. This can be done by storage rack number, compartment number or other storage location identifications. This information allows order pickers to find items quickly and efficiently.
Order Reference: The pick list is linked to an order reference to ensure that the correct items are outsourced for a specific sales order. This reference can be an order number, invoice number, or other unique identification of the order.
Quantities: The pick list specifies exactly how many units of a particular item need to be retrieved. This helps to avoid picking errors and ensure that orders are fulfilled correctly.
Create a picklist
You can create the Picklist in the Picklist - Editor. The Pick List Editor, like each editor, is divided into several index cards and sections to form thematic focal points. In addition to entering the general basic information that can be found on the General Map, you can add the orders to be picked here.
On the Restrictions card, you specify from which areas of your warehouse the items can be taken. The Packaging Protocol and Status cards are used for the traceability of processes (or provide an additional overview of the current state of the pick list).
Tip
Instead of manually creating individual pick lists, you have tools available for automatic creation.
- Import Pick List from Tour Planning
- Creating a Pick List from Consignment Planning

General
On this map you can see the most important information at a glance.
In the Picklist Number field, you can assign a unique number. If you leave the field blank, a number will automatically be drawn when saving.
Define the destination storage location, to which the items are to be transported. The target storage location also indirectly determines in which warehouse the pick list is processed. Only the stocks of this warehouse are taken into account.
In the Priority field, you control whether the drive commands should be processed with a higher or lower priority compared to other driving commands. Driving commands with higher priority are displayed first to the employees in the warehouse.
Define the picking strategy with which the orders will be outsourced. The picking strategy has a major influence on the smooth running of your outgoing goods process.
Note
Picking strategies determine the flow of goods during picking. Basically, one can distinguish between one-step and multi-stage procedures. In the case of single-stage procedures, picking is generally carried out per order, while in multi-stage procedures, one item for several orders is picked and divided among the individual orders in a next step.
Available Picking Strategies:
- Single-stage (application, packing when parked)
- Single-stage (order method, shipping loading equipment calculated, packing when parked)
- Single Stage (Order Packaging, 1 Cll per Piece)
- Single-stage (order method, item sorted, packing when put down)
- Two-stage (order type of fine picking)
- Two-stage (fine, dissolve when switched off)
- Two-stage (application method, packing at picking)
- Multi-level (order sort. Fine picking)
- Multi-stage (order, prepared sort. Fine picking)
- fully automatic order picking
In the Assigned Users field, you can assign the driving commands of this pick list to selected users. To do this, click in the field and then click on the Add action.
Optionally, use the Create handouts automatically option to specify whether a printable handout should be created for the driving commands of this pick list. With the handout, in the event of a failure of the electronic order picking, the removal can be carried out manually and logged. You then enter the recorded information under Driving Command Handouts.
In the Orders area, assign the outgoing orders that are to be picked with this pick list. To do this, click on the action Add in the List action bar. A dialog box opens with the list of open goods issue orders. The standard list functions for filtering and searching are available here. Select the jobs you want and click the Apply action. You will now see the order items in the list of orders.
Now enter the desired withdrawal quantity in the To pick column. To avoid partial deliveries, typically the entire open quantity, if available, is delivered. To do this, click on the Apply Open Quantities action. The system stores the open quantity for all items. In the column Lime. Available to see if the available stock is sufficient for the planned withdrawal quantity.
Tip
In the action bar below the order list, you will find useful functions for processing items with shortages.
- Remove Items with No Available Quantity
- Remove items that do not allow partial deliveries
- Remove orders that do not allow partial deliveries
Note
In the list action bar, you can toggle between All Orders and Orders - Differences.
For more information about the picklist fields, see Picklist Fields.
Limitations
On this card, you can optionally enter restrictions for the removal of the items. Define storage areas, aisles or locations from which the goods may be removed. If you do not define any restrictions, all storage bins in the warehouse are accessed. See also Target Location.

After the pick list has been created and saved, the pick list must be approved. In doing so, the system checks the availability and creates the picking plan and the corresponding driving commands in the background.
This process locks the entry of the fields and allows you to start picking.
Packing protocol
In the Packing Protocol tab, you can see the items picked per Collo:
- Collo number: Load carrier on which the goods have been transferred.
- Order No.
- Item no.
- Article name
- System unit: The inventory unit of the item.
- Packaged quantity
- Creation date (posting date)
- Created by: The employee who did the packing
