The use of an order picking slip in your company facilitates the sales process. This document, which can be in paper or digital format, plays an essential role in the success of your sales activity. It reflects the fluidity with which you manage your warehouse. So, as an order picker, it's important to know how to draw up your order preparation slip, so that you can be sure of sending the right product to the right address. This logistical step saves you from unpleasant surprises, and prevents you from having to deal with a stream of unwanted complaints.
Order preparation slip: what is it?
The order picking slip is used in the internal dynamics of the warehouse for efficient order picking. This document - which the operator relies on for picking - must contain all the data essential for successful goods extraction. A duly completed order picking slip will prevent mistakes being made during order picking and dispatch.
What information appears on the order preparation slip?
We can establish three essential segments in the order picking slip. The first section contains primary information on the operation, such as the company name, order number and process date. It is also important to mention the details of the agent picking the product from the warehouse. To define an order of priority, this segment also includes an indication of whether the product is fragile oran urgent delivery.
Secondly, the voucher must contain information about the product to be searched for. It must mention which aisle it is placed in, as well as the Shelving and storage level. Similarly, to facilitate the work of the team in charge of picking, it is imperative to note the quantity required and to evaluate the stock available, so as to be able to restock at a later date.
At the bottom of the document, there's usually an area dedicated to any remarks that the agent must mention. For example, if the product is damaged, this must be indicated. In addition, just like his colleague who will receive the picked goods and the agent in charge of the shipping stage, he must sign the box indicated on the voucher.

Making a success of your purchase order: key steps to follow
To ensure that your picking order is error-free, it's important that your storage strategy is targeted and efficient. Indeed, the picking stage is the key link in the order-picking chain. If your products aren't listed clearly, aren't placed high up, or don't follow an active referencing system, your employees risk confusing the goods. This will undoubtedly have an impact on your delivery times too, and you risk ending up with negative customer feedback.
