During order-picking operations, the pick list is affixed directly to the picking trolley and documents all line items for a given shipment. It specifies item numbers, quantities per position, aisle/bin addresses, and often the recommended pick sequence to minimize travel distance. The pick list functions as the control document between the warehouse management system and the warehouse personnel, and serves as proof of picking after verification and completion.
