Pick List
Pick List is a list, printed or shown on a scanner, telling a picker which items, quantities, and storage locations to collect for one or more orders, usually sorted in walking order.
Why it matters for ecommerce brands
A well-sequenced pick list shortens walking routes and reduces mispicks. Paper pick lists lack scan confirmation, so errors are often only caught at packing or by the customer.
Common questions
- What is the difference between a pick list and a packing slip?
- A pick list is an internal warehouse document that tells staff where to find items. A packing slip goes in the box and tells the recipient what was shipped.
