2. Select your Shipments

In Shipping Labels, select only the shipments you'd like to include inside the Picking List.

• Tip 1 : If you'd like to select more than 50 orders in one time, consider displaying more orders on Shipping Labels page from the bar at the top of the page.

• Tip 2: To speed up your order picking, you can order your shipments by different SKUs, so that you know how many items with the same SKU you need to pick up.

 

In order to do it, click on My Profile > Preferences. 

You'll see a box called Orders table ordering and reference in the lower left corner.

The shipments on Shipping Labels are ordered by ShippyPro Order Number by default, if you'd like to change this parameter click on > Items SKU to order them by SKUs:

 

Select all the orders and follow the following steps. 

3. Create the Picking List 📄

Click then on Management > Create Picking List to create it. 

 

You'll be then redirected to a new tab with your Picking List on it. You can either print it or download it directly!
