Sortation
You must define how to handle and control the sortation process, which is related to batches. The process is defined in terms of Actual sortation stations.
The sortation criteria define how you use and distribute the sortation locations during the batch process. The criteria are as follows:
- First-come – First-served (FIFO)
- Route and stop
- User Choice
Note:
- Orders to consider for batching must be waved together.
- Picking in bulk (a move in the system) and sortation into customer totes are two distinct functions.
- The bulk-pick function supports orders that are clustered together, as well as a combination of batch and cluster orders.
