Move with picking cart scanning

Table of contents

Introduction

The purpose of the "Move with picking cart" scanning is to make it more efficient to move around items using a picking cart by picking up items from multiple locations to a sorted trolley before proceeding to put away all the items one by one at other shelves. This could for example be moving items from a buffer location to a picking location, or to put away received goods. It can also be used for efficiently handling customer returns by processing the returns directly to trolley and then later taking the whole cart to the shelves using an efficient route.

Workflow

This workflow shows picking to and from a picking cart. A typical usage would be to first move goods to the picking cart and then putaway the items. If the picking cart already is loaded, it is also possible to putaway the goods directly.
