Pick Strategy
A pick strategy record contains filters that can be applied to the backend process that determines the preferred bin for items in a pick task record. When a wave transaction is saved or released, the backend process uses any available pick strategies to sort bins based on pick strategy filters.
The pick strategy record is available when the Warehouse Management feature is enabled. For help working with this record in the UI, see Defining Pick Strategies.
