Manage Wave Picks and Batch Pick

Purpose of Wave Pick and Batch Pick

• Wave Pick:
  Consolidates items from multiple orders into one Wave Pick document.
  This streamlines daily warehouse picking by grouping all allocated items together.

• Batch Pick:
  Creates one Pick Ticket per Sales Order.
  This is useful if you prefer to pick each order separately.

To use the Wave Pick or Batch Pick function in GoldFinch, you must first enable the Whse. Pick functionality in the Warehouse.

Sales Order Templates (Optional)

If you need to process hundreds of orders, Sales Order Templates provide an efficient way to filter and manage orders for Wave or Batch Picks.

Template Filters:

• Warehouse: Must select a single warehouse

• Customers: Enter one or more customers, or leave blank for all

• Order Date Range: Leave blank for all orders

• Shipment Date Range: Leave blank for all shipments

• Item Category: Enter specific categories, or leave blank for all

• Items: Enter specific items, or leave blank for all

• Orders to Pick: Default number of orders to pick

Creating a Wave Pick

• From the Sales Order list, click the list view that meets the following criteria:

  • All selected orders must be regular Sales Orders (not return orders).

  • All selected orders must have at least one item allocated.

• (Optional) Select specific orders to include.

Documents Created
