**Many settings affect how the pick list status is updated:**\\
With default status picklists are created with **"Not Ready"** status.\\
If the **Only pick items on location on same or lower level as dock? (Y/N)** setting is enabled, then the status of the picklist is automatically set to **"Ready"** upon creation, this also means that the locking level will be LUID.
If the **Auto select the wave? (Y/N)** setting is enabled on the [[implementation:wms:picklistcontroller|Picklist controller]], then the picklists belonging to the wave selected by the system are automatically set to **"Ready"** when the wave is shown on the Select the picklist screen.\\
If this setting is disabled, the pick lists in the wave are only set to **"Ready"** after the user selects the wave on the **Select the Picklist** screen and proceeds with it.
Enable the **Do not lock stock on picking (picklists can be created even if no stock is available)** setting at the [[implementation:wms:generalsettings|General Settings Tab]]. \\
**When this setting is enabled: **
* The system does not reserve stock when creating a proposal.
* It bypasses the check for available stock quantity.
* As a result, proposals can be made regardless of current stock levels.
In SBO, the picklist can be set to **"Ready"** during printing if the **Make picklist ready before print? (Y/N)** setting is enabled in the [[implementation:wms:picklistcontroller|Picklist controller]].
When **Make picklist ready for selected line? (Y/N)** is enabled, the status of the pick list lines stays as **"Not Ready"**. This means the system will not allocate stock to these lines until the user selects the item using a scanner.
