Zone Picking Workflow Management

Inicio del flujo de trabajo/proceso.

Fetch all orders from the Order Data Model that are in 'Ready to Pick' status.

Retrieve the specific zone assignments and picking rules for the warehouse layout.

Change the status of the retrieved orders to 'In Progress' to prevent duplicate picking.

Generate a new 'Picking Wave' entry that groups multiple orders together for a single zone run.

Extract all line items associated with the current picking wave, grouped by warehouse zone.

Sum the weight of all items in the current picking wave to determine if a specific cart/tote is needed.

Count the total number of units to be picked to estimate the workload duration.

Create a task for the Picker assigned to the specific zone (e.g., Zone A, Zone B).

Create a high-priority task for the Floor Supervisor if a 'Short Pick' is reported.

Calculate ETA based on total item count multiplied by the average picking speed per item.

Send an email summary of the completed picking wave and any identified stock shortages.

Decrement the 'On Hand' quantity in the Inventory Data Model based on the items picked.

Create a record in the Audit Data Model documenting the time, user, and zone of the completed task.

Retrieve the bin location details to ensure the picker is directed to the correct aisle/shelf.

Update the original Order entry to 'Picked' status once all items in the wave are processed.

Create a report summarizing items picked vs. errors encountered per zone for the shift.
