Many settings affect how the pick list status is updated:

Only pick items on location on same or lower level as dock? (Y/N)

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.

Auto select the wave? (Y/N)

If the Auto select the wave? (Y/N) setting is enabled on the 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.

Do not lock stock on picking (picklists can be created even if no stock is available)

Enable the Do not lock stock on picking (picklists can be created even if no stock is available) setting at the 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.

Make picklist ready before print? (Y/N)

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 Picklist controller.

Make picklist ready for selected line? (Y/N)

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.
