Question Hi there!
Please in simple terms, what is pick face?
Thank You
Regards
John
Answer John
Generally the term refers to the location of an item to be picked from stock. In pallet rack it would be the pallet location, as it would for bulk picking. I believe it is more commonly used for picking from shelves or from flow rack. For flow rack it would refer to each flow rack unit containing a unique SKU to be picked.
