Pick lists
In plentymarkets, you can generate pick lists as PDF or CSV files, for example if you want to print them or import them into another software. You can display barcodes on your pick lists. These allow you to scan items directly and book outgoing items after completion of the picking process.
1. Displaying item data
Use the menu Setup » Orders » Documents » Pick list to determine which item data should be displayed on your pick lists, such as Item ID, Manufacturers or Item price.
You can carry out individual settings for most of the fields described in [table-orders-options-pick-list] concerning the parameters width, font size and font weight that allow you to individualise the layout of the warehouse pick list. Use the Preview () to check the results of the settings while preparing the PDF template. To display the fields on the pick list in the order of your choice, assign the position numbers 1 to 14 from the respective drop-down list to them. Select the option Pos for fields that should not be displayed on the pick list.
