Picking List

The list of what to take off the shelves. Lines are copied from the orders that need goods - sales orders, manufacturing orders, subcontracting purchase orders, maintenance and service orders, transfer orders - with the quantity and the date they are needed. The pick itself is recorded on Picking List Registration.

Open orders; a journal and movement for the kind of picking

What it is for​

It turns orders into work for the warehouse. The movement says what kind of pick it is (for sales, production, a project, a transfer), and the copy buttons bring in that kind of order. A picking list moves no stock.

The one rule people get wrong: a picking list cannot pick more than the order still has open. Lines blocked on the sales order, or orders that refuse partial delivery, are refused here already. The components of a subcontracting order are not picked here: they go to the vendor with a transfer.
