Wave record and Pick Tasks

Wave

A wave transaction is used to consolidate orders for release to the warehouse. When you release a wave, the items from the order become available for picking and further fulfillment processing on a mobile device.

  • Pending Release – In this status, you have the option of assigning pick tasks to warehouse operators.
  • Released – Pickers gain access to pick tasks through their mobile device.
  • In Progress – In this status, one or more pick tasks have been updated by the picker so you cannot delete the wave transaction anymore.
  • Complete – Waves transition to this status when all associated pick tasks have been completed by the pickers. Deleting all pick tasks of a wave also sets the wave to this status.

Pick Task

Pick task subrecords display the picking details recorded using a mobile device. The details include picked quantities and the status of each pick task line item.

  • Pending – Initial status of a newly generated pick task. The wave has not been released yet, so you can assign a picker to the pick task.
  • Ready – When you release the orders, the associated pick tasks transition to this state. On the pick task record, you can still change the picker or delete the pick task.
  • In Progress – In this status, the pickers have started processing a pick task, so you cannot delete the pick task subrecord. They also may have staged or completed one or more line items.
  • Done – In this status, all pick task line items have been completed or reversed.
