Pick Rules in Clarus WMS help you pick stock based on your business needs. This guide explains the different types of Pick Rules and when to use each one, ensuring efficient and accurate stock dispatch.
This rule ensures that the oldest stock that arrived in your warehouse is the first to be picked and leave. It is best for ensuring older stock is always dispatched first, especially useful for perishable goods.
This rule means the most recent stock to enter your warehouse will be the first to be picked. Use this when the newest stock should be prioritised for dispatch.
Stock is picked based on its Sell By Date, with items closest to their sell-by date being picked first. This is ideal for products with expiration dates, making sure they are dispatched before they expire.
This rule picks stock based on its Best Before Date, prioritising items closest to this date. It is best for products where freshness is important, even if they do not have a strict expiration date.
FIFO picks the oldest stock first, while LIFO picks the most recently received stock first.
Use Sell By Date for products with expiration dates to ensure items close to expiry are picked first. Use Best Before Date for products where freshness is key, but the items do not expire.
