Picking report
Picking report shows picking activity for the selected period. It is used to see how many orders, lines, and units were picked and how long picking takes.
The report is useful for supervisors when they need to verify whether the Picking step keeps pace with orders entering the flow.

When To Use It
Section titled “When To Use It”Use this report when:
- orders get stuck before packing;
- operators say they cannot find products;
- many orders show stock errors;
- picked volume must be compared between warehouses;
- active picking duration must be checked.
How To Read It
Section titled “How To Read It”Picked orders show the positive output from the picking step. Orders cancelled in picking and stock errors show operational issues that need investigation.
Picked lines and picked units show the real work volume. An order with many lines can take much more time than an order with one product.
Average active time shows the duration after the operator starts picking. Wait time shows how long the order waits before it is taken. Cycle time combines waiting and activity.
Common Situations
Section titled “Common Situations”Few Picked Orders, Many Received Orders
Section titled “Few Picked Orders, Many Received Orders”Check Order cycle report and Warehouse performance report. The bottleneck can be order allocation, stock availability, or picking capacity.
Many Stock Errors
Section titled “Many Stock Errors”Check Stock, Stock history, and Traceability. The report shows the issue, but the cause must be traced by product, location, and order.
Many Picked Lines, Few Orders
Section titled “Many Picked Lines, Few Orders”This is not necessarily a problem. It can indicate that operators worked on large orders with many different products.
High Average Wait Time
Section titled “High Average Wait Time”Orders wait too long before picking starts. Check planning, operator availability, and whether orders are blocked before picking.
High Average Active Time
Section titled “High Average Active Time”Check the number of lines, product placement in the warehouse, handling units, and possible product-finding issues.
What The Report Does Not Show
Section titled “What The Report Does Not Show”The report does not replace checking an individual order. For an exact cause, open the order and check its operational history.
The report does not automatically confirm that the operator handled every line correctly. It shows the aggregated result of recorded events.
- Do not compare users only by order count if lines and units are very different.
- For stock errors, check Traceability, Stock, and the order detail.
- If wait time is high, the problem can be before the operator: allocation, stock availability, or planning.
