Enable Partial Fulfillment Creation upon Individual Picker Save in WMS
I am writing to formally request a critical update to the WMS and Advanced Sales workflow to resolve a major bottleneck in high-volume warehouse operations.
Current Pain Points:
- No Simultaneous Packing: In the current WMS structure, packing cannot begin until all multi-picking tasks for an order are 100% completed.
- Sequential Dependency: Multiple staff members cannot pack simultaneously, and the entire order is held up by the slowest picking task. For orders with over 300+ line items, this causes significant operational delays.
Proposed Solution / Feature Request: We need the system to automatically create a separate Fulfillment record (in Advanced Sales) as soon as an individual picker finishes and saves their assigned picking task in the WMS.
Expected Workflow:
- A large Sales Order is split into multiple picking tasks for different pickers.
- When Picker A completes their assigned portion and hits 'Save/Complete' on the WMS, the system should instantly generate a Partial Fulfillment for those specific items.
- This would allow a packer to immediately begin the Packing/Shipping process for Picker A’s items, even while Picker B is still picking the remainder of the order.
This "Real-time Partial Fulfillment" feature would drastically increase throughput and eliminate the idle time currently wasted waiting for entire orders to be picked.
As a business dealing with high-density orders, this functionality is essential for our scalability. I look forward to hearing about your plans to implement this workflow.
