Route Order
This specifies the order in which the various locations that are included in the picking list by the strategy are presented to the user of the WarehousePro Client (here, of course, Use Route Order must be set in the application settings).
Location Code ascending/descending The locations are sorted alphabetically in ascending or descending order based on Alternative sorting code or Location code.
Quantity ascending/descending The locations are sorted in ascending or descending order based on the quantity to be picked from that location.
Item Quantity ascending/descending The locations are sorted in ascending or descending order based on the item from which the most is to be picked. With this method, the user is first sent to all locations for the item with the largest quantity of units to be picked.
