- What are queues
Adapters for the picking queues
To be able to start a process in the terminal (picking, packing, sorting, allocating, measuring, returns) you have to have created queues to manage the orders.
Queues are a way of managing how you process the orders.
Some have different settings ( wave for picking a single order, or wave for picking many orders at once, how many orders per wave, etc.);
Every queue contains certain orders.
There are 2 kinds of adapters for the picking queues - routed_batch and discrete adapter.
Adapters for the Picking queues
Routed_batch
1 - With the Routed_batch adapter, the system will never ask you to scan an order.
2 - You can choose the type of settings you want
** settings:
- When it is 'Pickin by order' - this way you will be picking by order and put ready order for packing (in distribution place).
- Cross-order picking - Assigns tasks immediately, so the picker gets tasks for picking immediately. If this is off - the picker gets tasks after he has scanned any static place.
- *When it is 'Pickin by wave' - Picking multiple orders.
A Wave gives tasks for the picker to pick items that are close to him, these can be the items of the same and/or different orders. 2 pickers can do item picking of 1 order. Then on sorting all items will be 'Allocated' for Orders.
