Introduction to Warehouse Pick & Store Zoning (One SKU Multiple Shelves)


If the volume of the goods is quite large or there is a large number of goods, it is not possible to place all the goods on one shelf. In this case, the One SKU Multiple Shelves function can be used to place the same SKU on multiple shelves

1. What is Pick & Store Zoning

Warehouse Pick & Store Zoning refers to dividing the warehouse into two types of shelves: Picking Shelves and Storage Shelves.

  • Picking Shelves:

  • Storage Shelves:

    • Support storing one SKU across 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

🔈 From now on, the Warehouse Pick&Store Zoning feature can be used without the need to enable the wave (WMS). This allows for more flexible and efficient inventory management.
 

💡 Notes
1. The third-party warehouse does not support enabling pick & store zoning.
2. After enabling pick&store zoning, the warehouse will also enable Unstored Inventory Management by default.
3. Warehouse enabling pick&store zoning does not support simple stock count and on shelf / off shelf in BigSeller APP.


2.1 How to Enable
 

1) Warehouse Pick&Zoning can only be enabled after all pending orders under the 'In Process Orders' lists have been processed.

2) If you want to enable this feature, please contact our customer service.



2.2 Changes After Enabling

1) Shelf information will no longer be visible in the Inventory List. Please check it in Inventory Details instead.

2) Existing merchant SKUs will be synced to both warehouse areas. By default, all stock will be assigned to the picking area, while the storage area will start with zero inventory.

3) Shelf info will not appear on merchant SKU labels, as a single SKU may be placed on multiple shelves.

4) Available stock cannot be edited in the Inventory List. Please use Manual Stock In/Out to make adjustments.

5) When creating a new merchant SKU in this warehouse, the initial stock quantity cannot be set. Please use Manual Stock In to add inventory.
 

3. Manual Stock In / Out

How to manual stock in or stock out?


💡Note: When adding Stock-In List, warehouses with Pick&Store Zoning support adding combination SKUs. Once added, the system will display the information of individual SKUs.
 

4. Out of Stock

After enabling Pick&Store Zoning, BigSeller will allocate stock Qty in 2 stages when processing orders. This section will tell you why there are orders in the 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 In Process Orders list, it means that the inventory of the whole warehouse is sufficient.



 

  • Once the order is moved to In Process Orders, the stock at the specific shelf of each SKU will be allocated. If there isn't enough stock on the shelf, shelf allocated stock will be zero, and the order will be under Shelf Out of Stock.

  • Reason: The inventory of SKUs in the shelf (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 before shipping lables can be printed.

5. Inventory Restock

Step 1: Set restock upper and lower limit in Restock Warnings

  • Method 1: Set restock warnings for single SKU




  • Method 2: Import Restock Warnings


Step 2: Generate the Restock data

📍 Go to Inventory > Restock Storage Page

  • 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


If you have set upper and lower limit in restock warning:
  • Restock data will be generated when the SKU's available stock in all picking shelves < The lower restock limit + Out-of-stock Qty in the picking area - unstore Qty
  • Suggested Restock Qty = The upper restock limit - Available stock in all picking shelves + Out-of-stock Qty in the picking area - unstored Qty
If you have not set upper and lower limit in restock warning:
  • Restock data will be generated when the SKU's available stock in all picking shelves < Out-of-stock Qty in the picking area - unstore Qty
  • Suggested Restock Qty = Available stock in all picking shelves + Out-of-stock Qty in the picking area - unstored Qty
     

💡 What is unstored Qty?

The restocking process will track the unstored Qty at the target shelf. For example, when items are picked from the shelf A (storage area) and moved to shelf B (picking area), the in-transit Qty is considered as unstored Qty of shelf B until the SKUs are placed on the designated picking shelf.

For example, when restocking 5 quantities from Storage Shelf A to Picking Shelf B using BigSeller APP:
  • When picking from the storing shelves:
    • The available stock quantity on Shelf A will decrease by 5
    • The unstored quantity on Shelf B will increase by 5
  • When adding on the picking shelf:
    • The unstored quantity on Shelf B will decrease by 5
    • The available stock quantity on Shelf B will increase by 5

Step 3: Perform Restocking [New]

1) After you click Generate Restock Data, the replenish task will be under [Pending Claim].

---> You will need to click Assign to assign the task to the appropriate operator.






Note: If a sub-account cannot assign, please contact the main account to grant the "Restock-Assign" permission.

2) After assigning the task, the restock task will appear in the [To Pick] list, showing the assigned operator.

---> The operator can print the restock list, cancel the assignment, and cancel the restock task. The restock list will go to [Canceled] once it is canceled.

---> Once the SKUs have been replenished to the target picking shelves, the operator can Click to Move to complete the task.
 

💡 Click to Move feature is only available on the BigSeller PC version.This button is used to quickly complete the restock task without generating unstored inventory.






3) After clicking Submit, the replenish task will go to the [Completed] list.
 


 

📚 Restocking Using BigSeller APP [New Feature]

The Restock Storage feature is now supported on the BigSeller APP. Warehouse staff can use Restock feature on BigSeller APP to pick from the storage shelves and add items to the picking shelf.

💡 Note:  [Picking] and [Adding to Shelf] only track picking and shelving actions performed on BigSeller APP. Once an operation is started on the mobile version, the "Click to Move" action cannot be performed on the PC version.


Step 4: Refresh the Inventory

After you replenish the stock, you can click Refresh Inventory on In Process Orders > Shelf Out of Stock to continue processing orders.




💡 Notes: You can check the restock data on the Area Stock Movement. You can find Area Stock Movement Record on Inventory Module > Stock Out / In > Area Stock Movement Record



6. Inventory Details

  • You can find Inventory Details on the Inventory Module > Warehouse > Inventory Details

  • In Inventory Details, you can view the Area, Shelf, and Shelf Type of each merchant SKU. Additionally, you can set or change the shelf location as needed.


7. Stock Count

Introduction to Stock Count

  • If 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

  • If only Pick & Store Zoning is enabled (without Picking Area with One SKU Multiple Shelves)

    • The same SKU can be added to multiple storage shelves during receiving, but only one picking shelf can be assigned.

  • If both Pick & Store Zoning and Picking Area with One SKU Multiple Shelves are enabled

    • The same SKU can be added to multiple storage shelves and multiple picking shelves during receiving.
