What are the different types of picking strategy?
 
Answer:
 
Picking Strategies
 
The WM system includes the following picking strategies:
 
1) FIFO
 
First In First Out: The system proposes the oldest quant for the stock pick.
 
2) LIFO
 
Last In First Out: The system proposes the most recent quant for picking (quant with most recent goods receipt date).
 
3) Partial quantity
 
Removal of broken pallets first, then standard pallets.
 
4) Large/small
 
Pick proposal based on quantity.
 
5) Shelf-life expiration date (SLED)
 
Similar to FIFO, the oldest quant is proposed for picking (the quant with the oldest shelf-life expiration date).
 
6) Fixed bin
 
The quant is posted to the fixed bin.
 
7) No pick strategy
 
Manual entry of storage bin.
 
The strategy "stringent FIFO" is also available as a material-dependent pick strategy. Here, the FIFO principle is applied across all the storage types.
