Auto Next Aisle Allocation support in B2B Picking workflow

• The already existing configuration for Auto Aisle Allocation in the Picklist Configuration screen will now be applicable to both B2C and B2B flows.

• Once the last item in an aisle is picked, the system suggests the next aisle in the same zone where the items need to be picked.

• The picklist released in the first / nearest location of the suggested aisle for individual orders/ orders in the Pick Order Group will be allocated to the picker.

• The aisles which are already allocated for a picker will not be allocated to any other picker for the same type of picking (or the same order)

• The next aisle will be suggested for B2B order/ batch/ cluster based on the following parameters:

  • Aisles without any ALLOCATED picklists for the order / Pick Order Group in the current zone are suggested.
