Different Types Of Picking Strategy

What are the different types of picking strategy?

Answer:

Picking Strategies

The WM system includes the following picking strategies:

1) FIFO

First In First Out: The system proposes the oldest quant for the stock pick.

2) LIFO

Last In First Out: The system proposes the most recent quant for picking (quant with most recent goods receipt date).

3) Partial quantity

Removal of broken pallets first, then standard pallets.

4) Large/small

Pick proposal based on quantity.

5) Shelf-life expiration date (SLED)

Similar to FIFO, the oldest quant is proposed for picking (the quant with the oldest shelf-life expiration date).

6) Fixed bin

The quant is posted to the fixed bin.

7) No pick strategy

Manual entry of storage bin.

The strategy "stringent FIFO" is also available as a material-dependent pick strategy. Here, the FIFO principle is applied across all the storage types.
