Pick the right parts from the right locations

  • Start with the source-location prompt.
  • Read each part’s location, kit label and required quantity.
  • Follow the picking work before moving to dispatch.

What improved

Open the warehouse job that belongs to this order.

The business problem

One sale can have picks, outgoing deliveries, backorders and return or exchange transfers. Opening whichever record happens to match first can send an operator into the wrong job.

What we changed

Order scanning follows explicit choices across picks, deliveries, backorders and returns, with navigation into the relevant warehouse task.

What the team can do now

Operators have a predictable next step while return and exchange work keeps its own identity.

A real picking task / Warehouse interface

Three part lines, with the next physical step on screen.

The existing picking task opens with a source-location prompt. Each product row carries a location, required quantity and kit context.

What the screen shows

The screenshot shows the actual picking workspace, including the paired HD50011 and HD50012 kit labels.

What the team does next

Identify the correct location and part before recording the pick.

What the next team receives

Our routing refinements help operators find the relevant pick and related dispatch. This image shows the picking workspace; it does not demonstrate a barcode scan or completed delivery.

How the work moves

Follow the work from one decision to the next.

01

Find the order

Use an order or transfer reference to reach its warehouse work.

02

Open the next pick

Prioritize the relevant open picking task.

03

Follow the screen

Use the location, part and quantity information to carry out the physical pick.

04

Find customer dispatch

Open the eligible related delivery when it is available.

Built, used, refined

How the workflow improved over time.

  1. Explicit order routing and dispatch navigation

    Added deterministic selection across picks, backorders, outgoing deliveries and RMA work, plus customer-out navigation.

  2. Simplify the backorder choice

    Removed the no-backorder button from the customized confirmation view; the underlying server method still exists.

About these dates

Dates identify recorded implementation changes, not claimed rollout dates or measured results. Reviewed revisions: f96de7c, cd707bf.

Build notes and background
Warehouse UXWorkflow automation

The boundaries we made explicit.

Open work comes first

A completed delivery is a fallback only when no open operation remains.

RMA operations are different

Return and replacement markers affect selection instead of being treated as normal original delivery work.

Navigation does not validate

Opening the next record does not itself validate a transfer or move stock.

Existing records are shown as captured. Private identities are covered or outside the crop. No business records were changed for this collection. Implementation history supports behavior beyond the visible screen; a still image is not an end-to-end test or a measured productivity result.

Built on Captivea CAP modules and Odoo. This case describes the subsequent Pro-A-Motors extensions and refinements recorded in the reviewed repository; it does not attribute the original CAP implementation to Toro.
