Outbound

Outbound is the path an order takes from "ready to fulfill" to "on the truck." It runs in four stages:

1. Allocate — reserve stock for the order (covered in the Orders manual).
2. Pick — walk the warehouse and pull the items into a tote.
3. Pack — verify the picked items, box them, and buy a label.
4. Ship — the label prints and tracking flows back (covered in the Shipping manual).

Two jobs take a different path through the same screens. A Bulk Ship batch can be sent to the floor and picked a cart at a time in Active Pick, then labeled and packed on the Bulk Ship bench rather than at a pack station. A wholesale order is picked by the case into any tote on the cart and dropped at a staging location. Both are in the Picking manual and in the picking guide's Parts 3 and 4.

The three guides below cover the hands-on floor work, scan by scan.
