Yet you need assignation. Otherwise two concurrent workers working on different shipments would be asked to go to the same location when one may pick up the last units. That's why assignation is important on many cases. Assignation reserves that unit for one of the shipments so it's pretty sure the unit will be there when the worker arrives. > > This is a little bit how amazon warehouse works, the picker receive on > his screen the place of the next product to pick (because they have no > predefined places). > > -- > Cédric Krier - B2CK SPRL > Email/Jabber: [email protected] > Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 > Website: http://www.b2ck.com/ -- Albert Cervera i Areny Tel. 93 553 18 03 @albertnan www.NaN-tic.com
