How to Sort Pickslip by Bin Location

My pickslips list the products in random order. I would like to sort this product list by their location. I have tried changing "sortby" on the template from pick_zone to location, and location_bin but neither work. Am I missing something?

We use multiple warehouses, so I don't appear to be able to use pick_zone as seems to only have 1 zone across all warehouses.

Unfortunately the [%PICKING_LIST%] tag is totally undocumented, so we don't know what sorts are available. I haven't seen location bins available as a sort option on any other tag so it probably isn't possible.

As a workaround, it's possible to use client-side JS to sort the pick slip lines after they are rendered. This is not trivial and will require a developer.

@Pranay Shinde similar questions have been asked several times in the past. Can you please see if you can get the [%PICKING_LIST%] tag added to the developer docs?

Hi Erik. Thank you for responding.

I'll check with the team to see if the [%PICKING LIST%] tag can be added to the developer documentation. Although I can't confirm you exact same thing, I appreciate your suggestion.

Hi John, Apologies for the delay in response.

The default sorting option for Maropost Commerce Cloud's pick slips is pick_zone, which can be considered the equivalent of "location". However, if you have multiple warehouses, pick_zone may not be sufficient as it only applies to a single zone across all warehouses. Regarding available sorting options, the pick slip has limited choices, I suggest you use pick_zone, model, and SKU.

Alternatively, you may need to consider creating custom pick zones within each warehouse based on the location of the products. This will allow you to use the pick_zone option to sort the product list by location within each warehouse.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks Pranay.

We do use multiple warehouses so the pick_zone option is not sufficient. Our pickslips print out products in a random order, so makes it difficult for our people to pick the orders. Is there any plan to add sorting the pickslips by location in the future?

You're Welcome, John.

I understand that the current pickslip printing system poses a challenge for your order picking process.

Regarding the sorting of pickslips by location, you can submit a feature request to our Ideas portal. Our team consider feature requests and may implement them in future updates. While we cannot guarantee that this feature will be added, we appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration for future improvements.

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.
