This facility allows operations to view all picks that are required to satisfy Outward Orders. From this list they can easily allocate the various picks to store personnel and record this. The allocation can be carried out easily from the search view or can also be done manually from the detail view.

Search View

The search view is shown below. It will display a list of all work that is in a Booked Status, meaning no work has been done on the pick at this stage. The user can alter the filters to reduce the list to a more manageable level if they desire.

A Pick or group of Picks can be allocated quite easily from this point by clicking in the tick boxes to the left which selects Picks for allocation. Once the selection is made click on the “Allocate Store Person” button. This will open a search which lists the store personnel. You complete the allocation by ticking the store person you wish to allocate to the click on the “Select” button.

This will result in the Store Person being allocated to that Pick and the status of the order changed to “Allocated”. Those picks will remain listed on the grid view until the view is refreshed by clicking the search key.
