Installing Pickware WMS sets up basic settings and, for example, creates shipping and payment methods. We therefore recommend going through the settings again after installation.
Extension settings
You can find the extension settings in your Shopware Admin under Settings → Extensions → Pickware WMS.
Picking (Kommissionierung)
In the Picking (Kommissionierung) section, you define how shipping labels are created, orders are marked as shipped, and each picking type is configured.
Confirmation when creating shipping labels
Here you determine how shipping labels are created in the WMS App:
Create shipping labels fully automatically – Shipping labels are generated and printed at the configured point in time without further interaction.
Show shipping label creation view before creation – At the configured point in time, the shipping label creation view opens, where the shipping method and shipping address must be checked and the creation of the shipping label must be triggered manually.
Shipping orders
Here you define when an order is marked as shipped in the WMS App:
Mark orders as shipped manually – An order is only marked as shipped once the barcode on the shipping label has been scanned, or once the order has been shipped via the Mark as shipped button.
Mark order as shipped automatically – An order is automatically marked as shipped as soon as a shipping label has been successfully generated and printed. Please note that this may also automatically send an order confirmation to the customer, and that no further shipping labels can be generated for this order via the WMS App.
Single-order picking (Einzelkommissionierung)
The following settings apply to single-order picking. Shipping labels can only be created after the order documents have been created — incompatible options are grayed out.
Shipping label creation and printing – Define when shipping labels should be created and printed (e.g. after picking is completed).
Document creation and printing – Define when order documents (invoice, delivery note) should be created and printed.
Automatic preselection of the next product to be picked – If enabled, the next product to be picked is automatically preselected after a product has been scanned.
Rolling picking (Rollende Kommissionierung)
The following settings apply to rolling picking. Shipping labels can only be created after the order documents have been created — incompatible options are grayed out.
Shipping label creation and printing – Define when shipping labels should be created and printed (e.g. manually at any later point in time).
Document creation and printing – Define when order documents should be created and printed (e.g. manually in the "Ready to ship" tab or by scanning the picking box after picking is completed).
Automatic preselection of the next product to be picked – If enabled, the next product to be picked is automatically preselected after a product has been scanned.
Additional packing process after picking – If enabled, a packing process starts after picking, in which all products are scanned, packed, and shipped again. [to be verified: name of the option and for which picking types it is available or mandatory]
Batch picking (Sammelkommissionierung)
The following settings apply to batch picking. Shipping labels can only be created after the order documents have been created — incompatible options are grayed out.
Shipping label creation and printing – Define when shipping labels should be created and printed (e.g. after packing is completed).
Document creation and printing – Define when order documents should be created and printed (e.g. after packing is completed).
Automatic preselection of the next product to be picked – If enabled, the next product to be picked is automatically preselected after a product has been scanned.
Packing mode – Define how the packing process proceeds after picking: Product-by-product (the collected products are assigned one after another to the boxes of the individual orders) or Order-by-order (one order is fully packed before the next one begins).
Single-item picking (Einpösterkommissionierung)
The following settings apply to single-item picking. Shipping labels can only be created after the order documents have been created — incompatible options are grayed out.
Shipping label creation and printing – Define when shipping labels should be created and printed (e.g. after packing is completed).
Document creation and printing – Define when order documents should be created and printed (e.g. after packing is completed).
Automatic preselection of the next product to be picked – If enabled, the next product to be picked is automatically preselected after a product has been scanned.
Goods receipt (Wareneingang)
Storage strategy – Determine how storage bins are suggested during storage with the WMS App:
Prioritize existing storage bins – The default storage bin is suggested first. If it does not exist, another storage bin holding the product is suggested. If the product is not in stock in any other storage bin, an empty storage bin is suggested.
Prioritize empty storage bins – The default storage bin is suggested first. If it does not exist, an empty storage bin is suggested. If no empty storage bin exists, another storage bin holding the product is suggested.
Automatically release goods receipt after recording – If this option is enabled, the Recorded status is skipped and the goods receipt is given the Released status directly. The products it contains can then be put away seamlessly right after recording. If the option is disabled, the goods receipt must first be released in the Shopware Admin after recording, before storage can continue.
Automatically print goods receipt note – If this option is enabled, a goods receipt note is generated when the goods receipt process is interrupted. By scanning the barcode printed on it, you can resume the process at a later point in time. The goods receipt process is interrupted if the setting above (Automatically release goods receipt after recording) is disabled, or if the Put away later option is selected during the process.
Allow returns acceptance in the WMS App – Controls whether new returns can be created and existing returns can be put away in the WMS App. If you use a returns portal that requires complete processing within the portal, this option should be disabled.
For more information on goods receipts via the WMS App and via the Shopware Admin, see these articles:
Stocktaking (Inventur)
Show expected stock when counting a product – Controls whether the expected stock of the storage bin is displayed in the WMS App when counting a product.
Settings per shipping method
You can also define, for each shipping method, whether and how many invoices and delivery notes should be generated and/or printed during picking. You can find this option in the settings of the respective shipping method under Settings → Shipping → [desired shipping method] in the Pickware WMS document printing section. If you enter the value 0, the document in question will not be generated.
If you use our shipping carrier integrations, you can make additional settings for shipping labels for each shipping carrier.
