Creating a pick ticket

Introduction

In this article, we will walk you through how to create a pick ticket in Paragon manually, as well as how to create picks from orders and reservations. The pick ticket module is based on Paragon's standard transaction screen. If you are not familiar with the format of transaction screens, you can familiarize yourself by checking out our article How do transaction screens work.

Each item line must have a location assigned before your pick can be issued.
