Definition

In the Warehouse Management system (WMS), you can create work packages for picking in the warehouse for multiple processing. In doing so, you group together outbound deliveries or transfer requests according to certain selection criteria. Each group has its own group number.

Wave pick are a special group type. A wave pick is a work packet, which you create via the wave monitor for controlling picking in the warehouse.

The main feature of the wave pick is that you can select the outbound delivery according to certain time criteria (time slots). These criteria are based on the activities in the warehouse. A wave pick corresponds to a group and is further processed as such in the warehouse.
