Picking Same Item for Multiple Orders

Our team picks 12 orders at a time using the mobile scanners and pick lists.  When multiple orders in a pick list (wave picking) have multiples of the same item, picking directs them to pick one per tote until complete.

Example: totes A, B & C each get two of the same white shirts.  A picker will be directed to put one unit in tote A, one in tote B, one in tote C, then another in A, another in B and another in C.

Is it possible to change it so that they are directed to put two in A, two in B and then two in C?

Hi,

In Acumatica, there is an advanced picking feature called Wave Picking. With this feature, you can optimize and speed up the warehouse operations needed for fulfilling the order by using the wave picking workflow. I feel this feature will help your current process.

I will attach some article links below for more detailed information about this feature.

    Hi ​@DameeshaGanegoda03 ...thanks for that info.  We are currently using the Wave Picking process.  We require our pickers to scan each item as they put the item into the tote and this is where it’s causing a bit of confusion for our team based on the current order of actions.  We are hoping to change that process.  Are you familiar with a way to do that?  Thanks again.
