3. FAQ
Quick Jump: FAQ | Important Notes
3.1 FAQ
▪ When are picking records created?
When a picker scans a product barcode during picking, the system automatically creates a picking record. Each scan creates one record.
▪ Can picking records be edited or deleted?
No. Picking records are system-generated history. To ensure data integrity and traceability, they cannot be modified or deleted. Precisely because the records are tamper-proof, they can serve as evidence when investigating picking errors or reconciling shelf differences.
▪ How do I quickly find the picking records for an order?
- Find the picking list number from the order
- Filter by "Picking List ID" on this page
- All picking records of that picking list are shown
▪ Why does one picking list have many records?
A picking list usually contains many products from multiple orders, and each scan creates one record. So a single picking list can have dozens or even hundreds of picking records.
▪ What does "Quantity" mean?
It is the number of items taken from the shelf in that picking operation. If the same product is scanned in several passes, multiple records are created — the sum is the actual total picked.
▪ Where do clicks on the picking list or product lead?
- Click the picking list number: opens that picking list's detail page
- Click the product name: opens that product's detail page
- Click the external link icon: opens the page in a new tab
