How do I efficiently pick identical single-item orders via the Pickware Admin?

If you receive many identical orders from so-called single-item orders, i.e. orders that contain a single product with an order quantity of 1, you can pick and ship these in bulk using the bulk edit feature in your Pickware Admin. This saves you significant time during the pick and pack process. This approach is particularly useful for promotions, product launches, or generally high-demand items.

Note: The WMS App also has its own mode for picking single-item orders. You can find the instructions for this here.

Selecting single-item orders

To select single-item orders for picking, you can either filter all single-item orders by tag or directly use the filter for single-item orders in the order overview. You can generally recognize single-item orders by this symbol:

Selecting via the filter for single-item orders

In the order overview, you'll find a checkbox to directly display all open single-item orders. Please note that unlike the variant described below using tags, this option only shows open single-item orders.

It's also a good idea to additionally filter by a specific product. You'll find the product filter at the very bottom of the filter bar. Next, you can continue with creating the shipping labels.

Selecting via tag

Alternatively, you can also assign tags to specific single-item orders in advance and then filter the order overview by them. To do this, first create a suitable tag under Settings → Content → Tags.

You can then assign the tag to all relevant orders.

Note: You can also use a flow for this, which automatically tags relevant orders, for example those containing a specific product. You can find more information about the flow builder here.

Now switch to the order overview and filter by your single-item order tag. The filtered list serves as the basis for the next steps.

Creating shipping labels and other order documents

Select the filtered orders and click on Bulk edit (Mehrfachänderung) → Start bulk edit (Mehrfachänderung starten).

In this view, you can perform various actions for the selected orders. At the very top, you can use the button above to create shipping labels and then download them.

Here you can change the status of the orders:

Further down, you can create invoices and delivery notes:

Further down still, you'll find the option to download the created documents:

Once you've selected all the actions you want, click Apply changes (Änderungen übernehmen) at the top. As soon as all changes have been carried out, you'll receive a corresponding notification and can download any documents that were created.

Picking & packing

Next, remove the ordered product in the appropriate quantity from your warehouse. Then pack each package one by one, include the delivery note, and attach the shipping label. Make sure the delivery note and shipping label each belong to the same order.

Completing shipping

After packing, you can select all picked single-item orders again as described above, activate the bulk edit feature, and ship them using the button above.

Note: For tracking codes to be transferred to Shopify, shipping label creation and shipping must be done through the same channel. Since this process handles both the shipping labels and the shipping via the Pickware Admin, the tracking codes are correctly transmitted to Shopify. However, if you ship the orders via the WMS App without having created the labels there as well, no transfer will take place.
