Sorting while picking products in batches in Store Inventory Management (SIM)-disabled stores

1. Log in to Sterling Store Engagement.
2. From the application menu, select Order fulfillment.
3. In the Pick orders portlet, click Pick batches.
   The Batch list page opens.

   If the WSC_DELIVERYMETHOD_MIXALLOWED rule is set to 'Y' in Sterling Business Center, ship from store (SFS) and pickup (BOPIS) orders are combined to create batches. In such cases where the batch contains mixed order types, the batches are displayed in a single page. Else, the batches are segregated into different tabs according to the order type, that is, pick-up and ship.

Configuring the batches

4. Click Configure batch. In the Configure batch window, complete the following configurations:
   1. Under Picking method, select Sort while pick or Sort after pick as per your requirements.
   2. Update the Limit orders per batch to quantity to specify the number of orders that you want to include per batch. These settings will not affect the batches which are already in progress.

Filtering batches

5. To view only the batches that are relevant to you, click Filter, select the applicable filters and click Apply.
   You can filter the batches by the associate to whom the batch is assigned, the status of the batch, and the department.
