Picking Orders with SmartScan

SmartScan's Pick module allows you to pick items by order or by batch using scanning efficiency with a supported Zebra, or Keyence device. The three standard pick processes available with SmartScan are briefly explained below.

1. Pick a single order: If you are shipping orders with larger items, full pallets, or SKUs that are not similar, we recommend a single pick process.
2. Pick multiple orders (without bins): If you have have multiple orders that share common SKUs, it’s best practice to use a multi-order pick process.
   
   
   You can utilize either a cube truck or an empty pallet on a pallet jack to load the items.
3. Pick-to-bin: If you have multiple orders for unlike SKUs, we recommend a pick-to-bin process, which utilizes a pick cart with bins allocated for each order being picked.
4. Pick for load-out: If you need to pick movable units, verify them, and then move them to staging to be loaded onto a trailer, we recommend using the load-out option.

If you'd like to allow users to pick items that were not originally allocated to an order—i.e., the same SKU with different track-by's—you can use the "Reallocate at Pick Time" functionality. This feature must be enabled for your account under Admin > Settings, as well as for each customer using the "Pick – Allow reallocate" option under Customers > Manage Customers > Orders > Mobile Processing. The user who is performing the pick job must also have the following permission assigned to their role: Orders Module > Order Allocation.
