Picking Based on VSO Packing Proposals 

Use

You use this procedure to perform picking using transport requests from the Warehouse Management (LE-WM) component. The system carries out this picking on the basis of packing proposals from vehicle space optimization.

The system creates at least one transport shipment for every delivery in a packing proposal.
