 * Hi!
 * We tried your plugin, everything is fine, but there is a misunderstanding of 
   the process. How can a warehouse employee collect food from the shelves if he
   only has a smartphone or a terminal in his hands? In the paid version, you suggest
   creating a pdf sheet, but it’s inconvenient to walk around the warehouse with
   it and make notes if an employee has put 59 products instead of 100. Is there
   any way to modernize the order assembly window so that the employee sees the 
   cell number and can mark the product number and how much he put in the order 
   basket? Right now, the build window has only the product name and not even a 
   photo of the products, which is very difficult during assembly and packaging.

 * [@webfantastic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webfantastic/) – thanks for
   your questions!
 * PickingPal Lite gives you basic picking functionality. If you’re looking for 
   more advanced features, like warehouse locations, thumbnail images in picking
   window, pick lists, etc. you should consider checking out PickingPal or PickingPal
   Pro.
 * We’re also in the process of adding paperless picking, and some other features,
   but they are slated for either PickingPal or Pro.
 * If you have any other questions, please feel free to post them here, or visit
   the main website and shoot me a message there.

 * Hi! When will paperless builds be available in the paid version approximately?
   I’ll be happy to buy it, but I haven’t used paper versions for a long time.

 * We haven’t officially started the requirements for paperless picking. So, not
   likely until after the new year.
 * But, if you wouldn’t mind, please visit the main PickingPal website and shoot
   me a message using the contact form. Would love to interview you via Zoom to 
   learn about how you’ve used paperless picking before.

 * Hi!
 * I don’t have the opportunity to give interviews right now. The only thing I would
   like to point out, which is not found anywhere in the build plugins, is that 
   products are combined not only by storage cell, but also by row. For example,
   a warehouse has 2 floors and on each floor there are 15 rows in which there are
   cells. Thus, when assembling, the assembly sheet should have: floor, row, place.
   If there are 2000 products or more in an order like one of our clients, then 
   it is also problematic to collect orders only by cell. During assembly, the products
   must be decomposed exactly by floor, row, and only then place. This means that
   the importer must see all the products in the list from the same row in order
   to quickly put them in the basket. Otherwise, he will run between the rows to
   the specified places and it will take a very long time. He will have to travel
   a lot of the way, returning to the same food aisles several times. As for the
   mobile assembly application, one of our clients has a custom development and 
   there the assemblers not only scan the product or enter the article to mark it
   as assembled, but they can also simply click on it and mark how much they put
   in the basket. They can also replace one product with another in agreement with
   the buyer (this is relevant for food products). This is especially convenient
   when the mobile scanner does not work well, and it is very inconvenient and time-
   consuming to enter a long product article.

 * [@webfantastic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webfantastic/) – Thanks for
   the reply and for the additional information.
 * The paid versions of PickingPal support something called “warehouse location”,
   and the pick lists and line items on the pick ticket can be sorted in ascending
   alpha/numeric order.
 * The running assumption is that a company will organize a warehouse to optimize
   picking flow or at the very least, put like items somewhat near to each other.
   I designed it this way as a result of my own warehouse setup.
 * In our warehouse, each storage rack had 4 shelves, with 3 large product bins 
   per shelf. So, 12 bins per storage rack. In each row of our warehouse, we had
   12-14 storage racks long (on right & left). We had row designators (A, B, C, 
   D, E, F), then storage rack placement designators (1, 2, 3, 4….24+), then bin
   location designators per shelf (1A, 1B, 1C, 2A, 2B, 2C…).
 * Thus, each product had a very specific warehouse location as a string: B-10-1A(
   row B, storage rack 10, bin 1A).
 * On a Pick Ticket or Pick List, we could sort them by warehouse location to keep
   the picking flow optimized, like:
 * Line item 1: B-10-1A
   Line item 2: B-13-4Betc…
 * Hope that make sense. I assume this model could work for assembly or for supermarkets.
 * PickingPal cannot change the order line items at this time because in most cases,
   that could/would change the cost, tax, shipping of an order. If that increased
   the order cost, the difference would need to be collected. If that decreased 
   the order cost, a refund would need to be issued. Since PickingPal can’t know
   how to treat order that have been changed, we leave that to the store operator
   to handle at the order level first, then picking can happen after.

   the discussion! If you have any other thoughts, please let me know. For now, 
   I will mark this issue as resolved.
