Warehouse Pick, Pack and Ship
How a warehouse fulfils orders: wave planning, picking, packing, labelling and dispatch, with exceptions for short picks.

What this diagram shows
- Orders are grouped into waves by carrier cut-off
- Scanning at every step prevents wrong items
- Short picks are replenished or backordered
Prompt used
Warehouse fulfilment flowchart: orders are released into pick waves by carrier cut-off time, the WMS creates pick lists optimised by location, pickers scan each item; a short pick triggers replenishment from reserve stock or a backorder. Picked items go to packing, are verified by scan, weighed and packed, a shipping label and invoice are printed, parcels are sorted by carrier, loaded and the dispatch is confirmed to the customer.
