Chapter 8: Working w i th Pick Orders
Overview
Pick Orders are orders that you create when inventory is requested by a
customer and needs to be taken (picked) from your warehouse, store, storage
facility, etc. and s hipped to the customer. InventoryControl allows you to create a
pick order that can then be automatically emailed to the warehouse and/or
printed for reference.
Pick Order Work Flow
The flow of pick orders is as follows:
1. You receive an invoice or sales slip for merchandise from a customer.
2. A pick order is created in InventoryControl and the order is printed and given
to the employee(s) who will pull the items for the order and package them for
shipment.
3. Edits can be made to the pick order from the Pick Order List.
4. As the items are pulled from their locations, employees can mark them as
“picked” on the mobile devices. This removes the items from inventory.
5. After all items on a pick order are marked as “picked”, you can mark the
order as Completed. You can also have InventoryControl automatically
email the packing slip to the customer. At this point, it is up to you to make
sure the order is packaged and shipped to the customer in a timely manner.
The graphic below illustrates the workflow of a pick order from creation to close.
