If you work with warehouse shipments in Business Central, you can create a warehouse pick directly from the shipment document. You select the shipment, run the Create Pick function, assign a user ID, and confirm. Business Central then generates a pick activity tied to that specific shipment, which you can open from the shipment document or from the warehouse pick list in the main menu.
Creating a warehouse pick from a warehouse shipment
Creating a warehouse pick directly from a warehouse shipment is straightforward. You start by opening the warehouse shipment you want to ship. A single shipment can hold a combination of lines from several different source documents, so you don’t have to handle each document separately.
From the shipment, you use the Create Pick function. This generates a pick that applies specifically to that warehouse shipment. Before you confirm, you can assign a user ID and set the other options you need. When you press OK, Business Central creates the pick activity.
Finding the pick lines after creation
Once the pick is created, you have two ways to get to it. You can navigate from the shipment document and open the pick lines directly. You can also open the warehouse pick from the main menu and find it there.
This gives you a simple way to push a warehouse pick from a warehouse shipment without extra steps.
