A picker with a clear list, in the right order, picks faster and makes fewer mistakes. In OrderEazi, a picker gets their next picking slip (the list of products and bins to pick from) by scanning a printer, then scans each bin and product as they go. OrderEazi checks every scan, so the wrong item can't go into the order. ### Before you start You'll need: * **Permissions:** To pick, **Perform Picking/Put Back**, in the **Warehousing** permission group. To manage picking slips, **Picking Slip/Put Back Supervisor**, **View and Use as Manager**, or **View and Use as Administrator**. Deleting a picking slip needs **View and Use as Administrator**. See [Warehouse roles](/central/warehouse-management/warehouse-roles.md). * **A picking printer:** You scan a printer to get your picking slip, so it needs its **Type** set to **LabelPrinter** and its barcode stuck on it. See [Printers](/central/warehouse-management/management/printers.md). * **Live picking:** **Live Picking Enabled** must be on in [Warehouse settings](/central/warehouse-management/warehouse-settings.md). Without it, a picking slip picked by scanning never reaches **Fully Picked**, and it can't be checked. * **An allocated order:** The order must have a picking slip. See [Sales Orders](/central/warehouse-management/outbound/sales-orders.md). ### How to get your next picking slip 1. In the warehouse menu, select **Outbound** > **Get Picking Slip**. 2. Scan the picking printer's barcode into **Printer Barcode**. The oldest open picking slip prints on that printer, with its barcode. You'll see "Pickingslip printed." If you see "There are no more pickslips to pick currently.", every slip has been picked or handed out. ### How to pick an order 1. On the **Get Picking Slip** page, select **Start Picking**. 2. Scan the picking slip's barcode into **Picking Slip Barcode**. The slip is now yours, and its first line shows the **Bin**, **Item**, and **Required** quantity. 3. Go to the bin shown. 4. Scan the bin's barcode. The bin turns green. 5. Scan each unit of the product. A pack barcode picks the whole pack. 6. If the item has a serial number, scan it when you're asked. 7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for each line. The next line shows when the current one is picked. When every line is picked, you'll see "The picking slip has been completed and is ready for checking." Take the order to the checking area. See [Checking](/central/warehouse-management/outbound/checking.md). Each scan takes the stock off the bin, and the Sales Order shows the quantity picked straight away. With **Display Image and Name** on, you see each product's picture and description. **Example:** Sipho scans the picking printer at station 2 and gets PS000921, for 40 units of CHAIR-01 and 6 of MUG-11. He scans PS000921, walks to A-07, scans the bin, and scans 40 chairs. Then he goes to C-02 for the mugs. After the last mug, he sees that the slip is ready for checking. #### How to type a quantity For a line with more than the **Minimum Quantity Allowed** in Warehouse settings, you're asked to **Enter Quantity** after the first scan. Type the total you've picked from the bin, and select **Submit**. #### How to skip a bin If you can't get to a bin, such as when it's blocked, select **Skip Bin** before you scan anything on that line. The line moves to the end, and you come back to it after the others. #### When a bin is short If a bin doesn't have enough stock, you can't finish that line. Ask a supervisor with **View and Use as Manager** or **View and Use as Administrator** to select **Overwrite** on the line. The line is completed with what you picked, and the shortfall shows on the **Picking Exception Report**. #### What can stop you picking * **"This pickingslip could not be opened because it is assigned to \[name]":** The slip is with the person named in place of \[name], or it's waiting for stock. Ask a supervisor. * **"This is a Put Back Document and cannot be picked. Use Put Back function.":** You scanned a put back. See [Put Back](/central/warehouse-management/outbound/put-back.md). * **"The item barcode scanned does not match the open bin items, please scan a valid item barcode":** You scanned the wrong product for this bin. * **"The selected Location may not be picked from. Please contact your warehouse manager.":** The bin doesn't have **Can Pick** ticked. * **"The source warehouse is in the process of stock taking, no picking can be done at this stage.":** Wait until the warehouse's stocktake is closed. ### How to manage picking slips 1. In the warehouse menu, select **Outbound** > **Picking Slips**. 2. Choose a **Status**: **Open**, **Queued** (handed out to a picker), **Awaiting Replenishment**, **Fully Picked**, or **Closed**. 3. Change the **From Date** and **To Date** if you need to. The list shows the last 7 days when it opens. 4. To find one slip, use **Document Number**, **Customer Order Number**, **Customer**, or **Item Code**. 5. Select **Filter**. You see each slip's **Date**, **Warehouse**, **Sales Order**, **Slip Number**, **User**, **Customer**, and **Status**. In a slip's row, select the gear for these: * **View:** This shows the slip's lines, who picked them, and how much is left. * **Print:** This opens the picking slip as a PDF. * **Remove User:** On a queued slip, this takes the slip away from its picker, so it can be handed out again. * **Delete:** On an open slip, this deletes the slip. To reprint slip labels, tick slips in the **Print** column, and select **Print Labels**. On a slip's **View** page, supervisors can select **Remove Line** to take an unpicked line off the slip, or **Clear Remaining** to finish a part-picked line. **View Manual Entry List** shows the slips where a picker typed a quantity. Select **Approve** to mark one as reviewed. ### Related pages * [Sales Orders](/central/warehouse-management/outbound/sales-orders.md): allocate an order to a picking slip * [Put Back](/central/warehouse-management/outbound/put-back.md): return picked stock to its bins * [Checking](/central/warehouse-management/outbound/checking.md): check and pack the picked order
