Pick to TrackID
The Sales Pick to TrackID process still picks to a TrackID, but the TrackID has a different format and the Operator will pick and pack the stock at the same time. The format of the Picking TrackID will be Pickslip+WH+Box. (The Box will refer to a Box number)
Critical for this picking strategy is deactivating a warehouse setting. On the Ribbon Bar, browse to Settings / Warehouse Settings. Select the applicable Warehouse (typically, it would be the warehouse you are signed into) and locate the DISPATCH setting name. Here, you can update the PICKING_ALLOW_PICK_TO_PICKINGSLIP settings to N(o).
The setting change is required as the user will pack the box as they pick the pick slip. The advantage is that the picker can decide how to pack the box, and the warehouse does not require a packing station. The process does allow for a box check or final mass check, or, alternatively, it can be moved to a Shipping TrackID - for more information, please take a look at the shipping module.

Review the data
All pick slip data is visible on the Pick Slip Review screen. This is the main management front-end from which warehouses review picks running within the warehouse. The overview here is useful to watch the flow through the warehouse, identify bottlenecks and apply pressure where required.
If you right-click on the pick slip and select View TrackID you will see that the Pick slip(s) has moved to the Picking TrackID and Bin.
