Print a Pick List and Order Detail Documents
The order fulfillment process begins with printing the pick list and order details.
The SODA pick list is a printed list of items identified by web order number, while the order detail provides you with individual order information that can be used in the order pick-up area.
When printing, follow these guidelnes to reduce the number of trips walking through the text aisles by 50 percent!
- Print the pick list in Shop by Author (SBA), Division, Department, Course, or Section (DDCS) sequence.
- Select a minimum of two orders when printing a pick list vs. printing individual orders.
Note: The only exception to this process, is when there is only one order to be processed.
Important:
- If the DDCS is not displayed on the pick list, review your non-adopted inventory (“dead stock”) as OMS has visibility to this inventory as well.
- General merchandise items display at the bottom of the pick list in department order when orders are printed by DDCS or SBA.
