Packing & Secondary Picking
The “Secondary Picklist” will contain two actions:
- Template printout of the Picklist for picking from the staging area.
- List of Bundle barcodes in the same order as printed on the template.
The Secondary picker will go to the first Staging Shelf and pick these items, assemble the items in the packaging material, stick the barcode on it and put it on the trolley.
After doing so for all the items, the secondary picker will come back to the Invoicing dock with all the items in the picklist.
Now, the system will receive the Secondary Picklist by scanning the bundle barcodes.
