Bin locations and pick lists

A pick list is what the picker carries: everything a batch of orders needs, combined, in the order the shelves come. One walk instead of one trip per order.

Bin locations

A bin location is where a product lives in your stockroom: a shelf, a box, an aisle. Use any code that sorts the way you walk, for example A1-03 for aisle A, shelf 1, position 3.

1. Edit the product and open the Inventory tab of the Product data box.
2. Type the code in Bin location.
3. Update the product.

Variations use their product's bin, so a T-shirt in five sizes needs one bin on the T-shirt.

Printing a pick list

• On the board: select orders in To pick and click Start picking. The pick list for the batch opens in a new tab and the orders move to Picking in one go. To print it again later, select them in Picking and click Pick list.
• On the order grid: select any orders and click Pick list.

Click Print at the top of the list, or use your browser's print command. If nothing opens, allow pop-ups for your store's admin.

Reading a pick list

The heading shows your store, the date and time, and how many orders and units the batch has. Then one line per product (or variation):

Column	What it is
☐	A box to tick when it's in the basket.
Bin	Where to find it, or — when the product has no bin.
SKU and Product	What to pick.
Qty	How many in total, for the whole batch.
Orders	Which orders need it, and how many when it's more than one: #1042 ×2, #1045.

Lines are sorted by bin, then by SKU. Products without a bin come last, so the picker finishes the known route first.

Quantities are what's still to ship: refunded items are left out. The pick list doesn't change the orders or the stock; it's a list to work from.

Then pack

Take the basket to the packing bench, then pack each order with its packing slip, or check every item with a scanner at the pack station; see The pack station.
