Re: WMS wave picking

[Steve Richter <stephenrichter@xxxxxxxxx>]

It is a home grown system that we add onto as new requirements come up.
They want to pick and pack more efficiently and I kind of jumped in with a
solution that really does not work. Now that I think about it more I think
I see the disconnect.  Once you pick multiple orders onto a cart you lose
the connection between individual orders and the pick from locations.
