Wavesets

Wavesets

A waveset is the ability to combine multiple orders into a single work set. A waveset is also the ability to implement a QA process or pick and pack scenario in the warehouse.

Wavesets are used for two scenarios:

Consolidated Picks –

This is a fulfillment method to optimize labor by consolidating multiple pick requests or order picks into one waveset. For example, it may be useful when you have fifty orders, all for the same part, going to different customers. You can create a waveset from the Web Console and pick them as one pick. Reference the video from the quick start series on creating wavesets manually.

QA Checks –

Wavesets allow for QA processing of picks. You can set up auto-creation of wavesets which allows for a pick to occur. Upon completion an operator would be required to re-scan all the picks before completion of processing. You can auto-create QA Check wavesets by adding the order type to the configuration settings page on the Web Console. In your request, please include the order types you would like to include in waveset generation. For example, “SO” is the most common order type. Once support sets this flag, a waveset will be automatically created from orders coming in via Data Setup Tools import, or an API call.
