# Pick & Pack

Pick & Pack is designed for normal warehouse picking. Handheld 'Pick & Pack' and 'Wave picking' are similar concepts, except Wave Picking (batch picking) allows warehouse employees to pick various orders at once.

After an order is Allocated and Waved, P4W system will generate and print at least one pick label (Tote Label) that will be used by a handheld device user to complete a picking operation.<br>

## Picking Process

To initiate 'Pick & Pack' operation use a handheld android device. From the main page navigate to Fulfillment > Picking > Pick & Pack.

Scan previously printed picking label and continue to follow picking instruction generated by your handheld device at the bottom of the screen.

## Shorting a Pick

If the designated picking location (bin) is empty or missing the required quantity of product, handheld users can short current picking step. Depending on the system settings, system will either stop the picking process or progress it to the next available step.&#x20;

In addition, P4W system will automatically assign a cycle count operation to the shorted bin in order to make necessary adjustments to the warehouse stock level.

Notice: Bins pending a cycle count will not be available for future allocation purposes until the cycle count is complete and approved by a warehouse manager.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.p4warehouse.com/v2/fulfillment/pick-tickets/picking-or-handheld-interface/pick-and-pack.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
