Dynamic-area picking

This picking strategy is used for very large warehouses where we want to split the picking slip down by areas within the warehouse. As an example, a warehouse could have an area for all paint products while all tools could be in their own area and so on. Bulk locations could also be defined as separate areas. All orders are then released to the warehouse but across these areas. A picker or pickers are then assigned to each area, and they act the required picking for their area. All picks are scanned to unique tote numbers which flow through to a checkout consolidation area. A load-balancing tool ensures that no area can pick at pick slip too far ahead of one of its linked areas.
