Unguided Picking mode works like standard picking, but with a more flexible workflow. You are not directed to pick in any enforced sequence; you can start with any product and move through the order in whatever order works best for you.

Prerequisites

An administrator must configure the picking mode before it can be used:

  1. In the Warehouse Managenebt app open 'Warehouse Settings'.

  2. In Picking Mode, select 'Unguided Picking'.

  3. Save the settings.


Step 1: Select an Order to pick

  1. In the Warehouse Management app, select Pick from the main menu.

  2. Select an order from one of the following tabs:

    • New: Orders that have not been started.

    • In Progress: Orders that have been started, partially picked, or paused.

  3. Click any order from the New or In Progress tab to open its Order Details screen.

The Order Details screen displays the order number, pick status, a progress bar that tracks how many items have been picked overall, and the full list of products to pick.

Each product line on the Order Details screen shows:

  • Product name

  • Product Code (SKU).

  • Warehouse Location.

  • Quantity required versus quantity already picked, for example, "0/5".

  • A status indicator:

    • Grey: Not yet started

    • Orange: Partially picked

    • Teal: Fully picked

Step 2: Pick a quantity, confirm, and complete the pick for a product

From the Order Details screen, select any product to confirm and complete the quantity picked. There is no enforced picking sequence when Unguided Picking is enabled; pick items in whatever order suits your warehouse layout or workflow.

For detailed steps on confirming and completing a pick quantity for a product, see Picking with the Warehouse Management app.
