FAQs

Why does the system allocate full pallets even when I only requested a small quantity?

This happens if the 'Round Up to Full Storage Units on Pick' flag is turned on in your account settings. When enabled, Clarus WMS will always allocate a full pallet or storage unit during the picking process, regardless of the exact quantity you entered on the order.

How can I make the system allocate only the exact quantity I need?

To ensure Clarus WMS allocates only the exact quantity you entered on the order, simply turn off the 'Round Up to Full Storage Units on Pick' flag. Once disabled, picks will be based strictly on the order quantity and will not be rounded up to full storage units.
