Walk the aisle once
Pick several orders in one trip
Why this step
Five orders needing the same gasket is five walks down the same aisle, or one. Batch picking collects them together and sorts afterwards, and on a large warehouse it is the single biggest saving on this path.
What this does
Batch picking groups several transfers into one trip: a picker takes one document, walks the warehouse once, and collects the goods of many orders together. It is a real WindoorERP capability — and it is not enabled on this system. The warehouse module that provides it (Batch Transfers) is not installed, so you will not find a Batch Transfers menu, a "Add to batch" action, or batch settings anywhere. This page exists so you know the capability, know it is off, and know how to ask for it — not to walk you through screens you do not have.
What enabling it would add
- A Batch Transfers menu where several deliveries, receipts or internal transfers are grouped into one batch document with its own responsible and its own lifecycle.
- An Add to batch action on transfer lists, plus optional automatic batching by source location, destination or carrier on the operation type.
- One combined picking list to print, and validation of the whole batch in one go — with per-order paperwork still produced per transfer.
- The foundation for wave picking and for dispatch management, which both build on batches.
In the meantime
Without batches, the closest built-in habit is selection printing: on the Deliveries list, tick the transfers for one trip and print Picking Operations for all of them at once — the picker carries several sheets instead of one, but the walk is planned the same way. Validation stays one transfer at a time.
Asking for it
Enabling batch transfers is an administrator/vendor action (it installs a module fleet-wide, which is why the Settings toggle for it should not be flipped casually). If your warehouse regularly picks several orders per trip, raise it with your WindoorERP administrator or through your support channel, and say whether you also want the wave and dispatch layers that sit on top of it.
Checkpoint
One picking trip serves several orders, and the picker walks the aisle once.
