pickliste

Pickliste, also known as a picking list or order picking form, is a document used in warehousing and logistics to guide the process of retrieving items from storage. Its primary function is to specify which items need to be collected, in what quantities, and from where they are located within the warehouse. This systematic approach helps to minimize errors, improve efficiency, and ensure that the correct products are assembled for an order.

A typical pickliste will include details such as the order number, customer information, item descriptions, product codes or SKUs, quantities to be picked, and the specific bin or shelf locations where each item can be found. Some picklistes may also incorporate pick paths, which suggest an optimized route for the picker to follow through the warehouse, further enhancing speed and reducing unnecessary movement. Advanced systems might use electronic picklists displayed on handheld devices, which can integrate with warehouse management systems (WMS) to provide real-time updates and confirmations. The use of picklistes is fundamental to order fulfillment operations, impacting inventory accuracy and customer satisfaction.
