Batch Picking List

The batch picking list screen provides an overview of multiple orders grouped for efficient picking in the warehouse. Users can view details such as batch code, batch type, batch created date, batch created by, quantities, etc., facilitating a streamlined collection process.
 

• Navigate to Fulfillment > Batch Picking.

The list provides quick insights into the number of outbounds/products/quantity, batch creation date/time, status, type, assigned employees, results in easy monitoring.

Here's a breakdown of what each column might contain:

• Created: Indicates the date and time when the batch was created, allows for tracking and prioritizing batches based on their age. This helps to identify delays in the picking process, if batches remain in pending status for extended periods. The created column can be sorted by date and time in both ascending and descending order for easy access to batch information.

• Created By: The name of the person that created the batch. Tracks who initiated the batch picking process. Useful for accountability and tracking down any issues related to the batch creation (such as incorrect grouping of orders/outbounds or items).

• Batch Code: It uniquely identifies each batch in the system and can hold various codes based on your organization's needs. This column is used to track and manage specific groups of orders in the Warehouse Management System (WMS), helping users and systems identify which batch is being processed for easy reference and tracking. Learn how to configure picking batch code. The batch code can be sorted to facilitate easier management and quick access to specific batches.

• Customer: This field displays the name of the customer whose orders are included in the batch, (in the 3PL companies, multiple clients may be handled simultaneously. While in the non 3PL companies, this column is hidden. The customer name column also includes a sorting feature that allows users to view batches organized by customer.

• Type: This column indicates the picking strategy or inventory rotation method used for the batch. Users can select and pick products using various methods/types: FIFO, LIFO, FEFO and LEFO.

• FIFO (First-In, First-Out): Oldest stock is picked first.
• LIFO (Last-In, First-Out): Newest stock is picked first.
• FEFO (First-Expired, First-Out): Items with the earliest expiration date are picked first (commonly used in perishable goods).
• LEFO (Last-Expired, First-Out): Items with the latest expiration date are picked first.

• No Of Outbounds: Refers to the total number of outbounds included in the batch.

• No Of Products: Refers to the total number of products included in the outbounds while creating the batch (i.e. total number of lines).

• Quantity: The total number of individual units across all outbounds in the batch.
  Provides a summary of the workload and volume of the batch. It helps in planning labor and resource allocation.
  For example: Total Outbounds: 5, Total Products: 25, Quantity: 150 units.
  

• Status: Defines the current status of the batch in the picking process. It provides a clear snapshot of each batch in the fulfillment process. Common statuses include: Pending, Picking In Progress, Picked, Packing In Progress and Packed.

• Pending: Batch has been created but the picking process has not yet started.

• Picking In Progress: Picking has started. It indicates that the batch is being worked on and items are being retrieved from the different locations of the warehouse/storage.

• Picked: All items for the batch have been picked from their locations in the warehouse. The picking phase is complete, and the batch is now ready for the next stage: packing.

• Packed: The batch has been fully packed and is ready for further processing.
