With action codes for picking crates, you can capture your picking crates directly via scan during multi-order picking with the WMS App. Barcodes and QR codes are especially useful for carts with many crates, since they can store multiple numbers in a single code.
Action codes for picking crates can generally be created with any tool that can generate barcodes (Code-128) or QR codes. However, if you want to create your own barcodes or QR codes for rolling order picking, the contained data must follow a specific format. This format determines which crate numbers are added when scanning.
^B<Kiste 0>[$<Kiste n>...]
When creating QR codes/barcodes, keep the following points in mind:
If you want to capture individual crates, use the prefix
^5.If you want to capture multiple crates, use the prefix
^B.Separate multiple crate numbers with
$.
You name the crates via your code - the WMS then adopts these numbers.
Example:
^512→ adds crate “12” to the order picking process^B12$37$105→ adds crates “12”, “37”, and “105” to the order picking process
Starting rolling order picking via barcode or QR code
In the WMS App, you can add multiple picking crates at once by scanning a single barcode or QR code.
To do this, simply open the setup for rolling order picking and scan the barcode or QR code attached to your picking cart. All crates linked to this code will then be automatically added to the order picking process. Crates that have already been added are also automatically skipped, and if no new crates are included, the app displays a brief error message.
This feature makes it easier to start large picking processes with many crates, since you don't have to scan each crate individually. You can start the scan either from the list of open orders: here, the scan opens the setup for rolling order picking and adds the crates directly. Alternatively, you can start the scan directly in the setup for rolling order picking, where the scan then only adds the missing crates.
