1. What is Pick&Store Zoning
Warehouse Pick&Store Zoning refers to dividing the warehouse into two areas: Picking Area and Storage Area. The picking area supports one SKU on one shelf, while the storage area supports one SKU on multiple shelves.Pick&Store zoning can compress the picking area and improve picking efficiency; At the same time, the storage area reduces the frequency of inventory changes and reduces stock count hours.
2. Enable Pick&Store Zoning
💡 NotesOnly accounts with wave (WMS) enabled can use the One SKU Multiple Shelves. After enabling this feature, manual closure of WMS (Wave) is not supported.
POS retail stores cannot link warehouses enabling Pick&Store Zoning.
The manual in/out and quick inventory functions of the APP currently do not support selecting warehouses that enable inventory picking separation.
2.1 How to Enable
If you want to enable this feature, please contact our customer service.
2.2 Changes after enabling
① The shelf info cannot be checked in the Inventory List, please check the shelf info on WMS- Inventory Details;② The existing merchant SKUs will be initially synced to the two warehouse areas, and their stock will default to increasing to the picking area. The inventory in the storage area will be processed as 0 by default;
③ The shelf info will not be displayed on merchant SKU label. (Because a merchant SKU may be placed on multiple shelves);
④ The available stock can not be edited in the Inventory List, please use the Manual Stock In/Out to adjust the inventory;
⑤ When creating a new merchant SKU to this warehouse, the initial inventory quantity cannot be set (i.e. you cannot edit the inventory quantity). Please increase the inventory by manually stocking in.
3. Manual Stock In/Out
How to manual stock in or stock out?
4. Out of Stock
This section will tell you why there are orders in the WMS Out of Stock list.When packing an order, the order will first allocate the stock of the whole warehouse. If the order is successfully packed and moved to Shipping list, it means that the inventory of the whole warehouse is sufficient.
But in WMS, some orders are in Out Of Stock list.
Reason: The inventory of SKUs in the picking area is insufficient, and there are available stocks in the storage area.
This situation requires restocking from the storage area to the picking area.
5. Inventory Restock
💡 Merchant SKU without restock warnings or with no inventory in the storage area will not generate restock data.Step 1: Generate the Restock data
Method 1: System Generated -- The system will automatically calculate the data based on the Restock Warnings at 3am every day.
Method 2: Manual Generated -- Click "Generate Restock Data"
When the SKU's available stock in picking area < The lower restock limit + Out-of-stock qty in the picking area, the restock task will be generated.
💡 Suggested Restock Qty = The upper restock limit - Available stock in the picking area + Out-of-stock qty in the picking area
Step 2: Stock Out From the Storage Area
Step 3: Stock In To the Picking Area
Step 4: Refresh the Inventory
After refreshing the inventory, you can process the orders in waves.
💡 Notes

7. Stock Count
Introduction to Stock CountIf the warehouse has enabled the Pick&Store Zoning feature, the counting merchant SKU is marked based on the dimensions of Warehouse-merchant SKU-Shelf.
For example, SKU A is stored in both shelf 001 and shelf 002. When you are counting SKU A on shelf 001, SKU A on shelf 002 will NOT be marked as in counting and can stock in and out operations normally.
8. Purchase/ Transfer/ Scan to Receive
The operation process is the same as the ordinary receiving process, except for the addition of warehouse area and support for receiving products to multiple shelves.Purchase Process
💡 Notes Multiple shelves can only be selected when the receiving warehouse area is the storage area.
