# Pick Strategy
The **Pick** module in the XoroWMS system is designed to streamline the process of picking inventory from designated locations within the warehouse. It enables users to select specific picking strategies, ensuring that the process is optimized based on the wave structure of the orders.
### Overview of the Picking Process
1. **Select Strategy**: The pick process begins by selecting a picking strategy. XoroWMS offers two strategies—**Single Carton** and **Multi Carton**—each designed to meet specific operational needs.
2. **Cart Location**: The next step involves identifying the cart location where to place the items. In case of case pick, the picking process ends at this step. However, in case of each pick, the following steps are applicable.
3. **Location & LPN:** In case of each pick, the user will pick the location and LPN from which the items are to be picked.
4. **Item & Quantity**: Users specify the item and the quantity to be picked. This step allows for accuracy in gathering the right inventory based on order requirements.
### Pick Strategy Options
The Pick module offers two distinct strategies to suit different operational needs:
#### 1. Single Carton Strategy
The **Single Carton** strategy is designed for picking operations focused on a single task. This strategy enables users to:
* Work on a single task at a time.
* Complete the picking process for that specific task.
This is ideal for operations that prioritize sequential processing of individual tasks or need to maintain tight control over each wave’s picking process.
#### 2. Multi Carton Strategy
The **Multi Carton** strategy allows users to pick across multiple tasks. This strategy is particularly useful in environments where:
* Multiple tasks need to be processed simultaneously.
* Greater efficiency is required by working on several tasks at once.
By allowing the selection of multiple tasks, this strategy optimizes the picking process, reducing the overall time required to process numerous orders.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.xorosoft.com/other-products/xorowms/wms-pick/pick/pick-strategy.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
