Operations

Operations is the part of MPH WMS built for people standing in the warehouse with a scanner, rather than sitting at a desk. Every screen here is full-screen, scanner-first, and does one job.

Pick

Zone-split picking rounds. Claim a pick list and work it until every line is picked.

Pack

The shared pack queue. Scan a parcel to claim it and pack it out.

Assign to location

Scan a location, then scan items to place them there.

Receive return

Scan a returned parcel and record what came back, per line.

Permissions

Task	Permission
Pick	`fulfillment:pick`
Pack	`fulfillment:pack`
Assign to location	none, any signed-in user
Receive return	`returns:receive`

Tasks you have no permission for are hidden from the Operations page entirely. A picker who should never touch returns simply does not see the card.

How the floor fits together

The route from a paid order to a parcel depends on how the warehouse is configured under Settings → Warehouses. There are three entry points, and a warehouse can offer any combination of them:

Flow	What happens
Create pick list	Orders are split across zones into persisted pick lists, picked, then packed from the shared pack queue
Pick	Pick now, pack later from the order
Pick and Pack	One pass. The fulfilment and the shipment are created at the end of it

Small operations tend to live on Pick and Pack. Once more than one person is picking at a time, pick lists stop them colliding. See Fulfilments for the concepts underneath all three.
