Pick Product
Next, tap on the product or scan a product barcode to view more details about the product.
The next screen will present all the locations where the product needs to be sourced from, as well as the quantity required from each location.
To verify you have the right product from the right location, the app supports scanning to verify these things.
Simply scan the product SKU or Serial Number, or the pallet barcode, and scan the location barcode in order to verify this information.
Verified scans will appear in Consignly against the transaction that recorded the warehouse activity.
If there is not enough product to pick for some reason, the quantity value can be adjusted to reflect what was actually picked.
