How to Only Pick Orders with Today's Required Ship Date or Earlier

Updated

Required Ship Date filtering limits Multi Item and Single Item batches to orders due today or earlier — keeping pickers focused on time-sensitive shipments. This setting is configured per warehouse.

Orders without a Required Ship Date set are always included in batches, even when this setting is enabled.

  1. Go to My Account > Warehouses.
  2. Click Settings on the default profile for your warehouse.
  3. In the Settings section (bottom right), check the box for the setting "Only pick orders with a required ship date of today or earlier."
  4. Click Save Warehouse.

Important

Disable this setting after required orders have shipped so newer orders are included in batches again.
