DescriptionPick items for multiple orders and sort them into separate handling units. Confirm each pick by scanning the storage location once and scanning every HU sorted into separately.

What this workflow does

Pick items for multiple orders and sort them into separate handling units. Confirm each pick by scanning the storage location once and scanning every HU sorted into separately.

Data formatCSV or API results[] with job_customer per line
Setup phaseTrolley → Set HU counts → Assign HU + position per order
Pick loopStorage → Quantity Confirm → Part_Quantity …
LightTagLightTags are optional and not required — the PoV works the same way with or without them.
Inventory (optional)Only when CSV/API line includes stock ≥ 1 — pre-pick quantity check before Quantity Confirm; not part of the standard pick loop shown above.
Multi-orderMultiple job_customer values in one job · scan trolly_place_ID per order
PoV example dataStorage 12.0.3 · Cola (ORD-A) then 14.2.1 · Fanta (ORD-B) · POS-1 / POS-2

Typical scan sequence

Trolley → HU + POS per order → Storage 12.0.3 → Scan POS-1 → Next article / location …
Prepare Storage routes to the first open line or Completion when every line has check. At the same storage location, after Quantity Confirm the flow goes directly to Part_Quantity Confirm (no extra storage scan).
Quantity display: Quantity Confirm shows Total Quantity (all pcs to pick from shelf, e.g. 11). Part_Quantity Confirm shows remaining / total (e.g. 6 / 11) after each position is confirmed.
