The Secret to Faster Picking in Business Central: Automate Warehouse Picks with One Click

Every warehouse supervisor faces the same challenge: stacks of orders to pick, limited staff, and the constant question—what ships today? This is where the Order Fulfillment Worksheet app for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central helps streamline operations. Below are real-world questions users ask when looking to speed up fulfillment using Business Central.

How can I see only the orders that are ready to pick in Business Central?

The Order Fulfillment Worksheet gives supervisors a single, accurate view of every sales and transfer order. Instead of bouncing between screens, they see availability, allocation, and backorders all in one place.

Orders are color-coded by availability—highlighting those that are not available, partially available, or ready to fulfill. When availability is refreshed, the worksheet recalculates in real time, instantly identifying which orders are ready for picking and which ones still wait on stock.

Can I automate pick creation in Business Central instead of doing it manually?

Yes. The Order Fulfillment Worksheet turns pick creation into a one-click process—or even a fully automated task. After configuration, supervisors can use custom views and filters to organize orders, then generate picks with a single click.

For nonstop operations, Business Central’s Job Queue can schedule automatic pick creation. You define filters for due dates, status, availability, and more. Once scheduled, the system runs continuously in the background, preparing picks as new orders qualify.

What options do I have to customize how picks are structured?

The app provides complete control over pick creation. You can group picks by zone or item, limit pick lines, skip zero-quantity lines, or choose whether to print the document.

This flexibility allows each location to match its unique workflow while maintaining consistency across the organization. Supervisors can sort by overdue orders, priority customers, or next-day deliveries—then act instantly.


The Order Fulfillment Worksheet turns Business Central into an intelligent picking engine that adapts to your workflow, automates routine tasks, and ensures your team always knows what to do next.
