Picking locations management

To streamline order fulfillment in a warehouse, picking locations can be created. These locations, combined with proper account settings, will restrict your team to using inventory only from designated picking locations, preventing access to standard locations.

This article includes the following sections:

• Create a picking location
• Enable a standard location as a picking location
