Picking is the withdrawal of the goods from a storage location and their provisioning in the correct quantity and quality in a picking area, where the goods are prepared for shipping. There is an AFS-specific tab page with which you can pick at SKU level. Corresponding to the structure of the AFS material master, picking is not carried out at the main item, but at SKU level.

Picking with warehouse management lets you use the transfer order as the pick order. With AFS materials this is possible for the following scenarios:

• Lean-WM: Use of reduced functionality of the warehouse management (WM) in simply structured warehouses without inventory management in storage bins.
• Use of all WM functions

A goods issue is a goods movement to post internal material consumption, material issues, and deliveries of goods to customers. Goods issues reduce the warehouse stock. Goods issues for a delivery can be posted individually or by collective processing. Instead of processing each transport requirement or delivery separately, you can select the documents from a collective processing list and create the related transfer orders in one single transaction.
