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.
