Generate a Picklist
Select the orders, choose the location, generate.
The interesting decision is how much to batch, because that is the trade-off between fewer walks and more sorting at the packing bench.
Generate one
Select confirmed sales orders
One order, or several batched into a single walk. Draft orders are not offered.
Choose the location
A picklist covers one location, because it is a physical route through one building.
Generate
Lines are grouped by storage position rather than by order.
Assign a picker
Optional but useful when several people work the same floor.
Print it, or work from a screen
Either way, the picked quantities have to come back into SorviAI Finance.

Assigning a picker
Assigning names who is responsible and stops two people picking the same list. It is optional, and it becomes worth doing the moment more than one person is on the floor at once.
