The first phase of Bulk Picking is to Collect the products required to fulfil the Consignments in the Wave.

Consignly will direct you to the locations in the warehouse so you can Collect all the product by location (i.e. into a trolley or Forklift) and bring it to a central picking/packing area.  

As you collect product from different locations the percentage collected will be updated at the top of the blade.

Collected product will show as being in the In Pick location. 

Depending on your preference and the physical constraints of the product you are handling you may collect all the required product in one phase or multiple.
