# Pick items with a warehouse staged pick

When your warehouse is set up to require warehouse pick processing, combine several pick requests for the same item on a warehouse staged pick. You can then issue individual picks against staged pick quantities. For more about the concept of staged picking, see [Staged Picking](/business-central/docs/bc-staged-picking).

The following steps describe how to pick items with a staged pick for outbound documents such as sales, transfer, and purchase return orders. The same procedure applies to production orders. For simplicity, only outbound orders are described in detail.

## Create a warehouse staged pick

### Steps - Create a warehouse staged pick

1. In the search box, enter **Order Shipping**, and then choose the related link.
2. Select the outbound transactions you want to pick.
3. On the **Navigate** tab, in the **Order** group, choose **Stage**. The **Warehouse Staged Pick** page appears.

The **Items to Stage** FastTab displays a single line for each item that must be staged. If the same item is present on several source documents, the program combines these quantities into a single amount. View the item quantities on each source document on the **Orders** FastTab.

## Stage items (pick to the staging bin)

### Steps - Stage items (pick to the staging bin)

1. On the **Warehouse Staged Pick** page, on the **Actions** tab, in the **Functions** group, choose **Pick Items (To Staging Bin)**.
2. Fill in the fields in the request page as desired and choose **OK**.

A warehouse pick is generated based on the lines on the **Items to Stage** FastTab.
3. In the search box, enter **Picks**, and then choose the related link.
4. Select the pick instruction generated from the staged pick.

You can sort the lines, assign an employee to the pick, set a break-bulk filter, and print the instructions.
5. Perform the pick and place the items in the specified staging bin.
6. On the **Actions** tab, in the **Registering** group, choose **Register Pick**.

The program updates the **Qty. Staged** field on the **Items to Stage** FastTab of the staged pick.

## Pick staged items (pick from the staging bin)

Once items are picked to the staging bin, generate individual picks based on the related source documents from the staged pick.

> If you are picking for outbound documents, create a warehouse shipment for these documents before generating warehouse picks. You do not have to create picks from the warehouse shipment, however.

1. In the search box, enter **Whse. Staged Picks**, and then choose the related link.
2. Select the staged pick from which you want to generate picks.
3. On the **Options** FastTab of the staged pick, fill in the **Order Picking Options** field with the method the system should use when generating picks for the staged items.
4. On the **Actions** tab, in the **Functions** group, choose **Pick Items (From Staging Bin)**.
5. Fill in the fields in the request page as desired and choose **OK**.

Warehouse picks are generated based on the lines on the **Orders** FastTab.
6. In the search box, enter **Picks**, and then choose the related link.
7. Select a pick instruction generated from the staged pick.

You can sort the lines, assign an employee to the pick, set a break-bulk filter, and print the instructions.
8. Perform the pick and place the items in the specified shipping bin.
9. On the **Actions** tab, in the **Registering** group, choose **Register Pick**.

The program updates the **Qty. Picked** field on the **Orders** FastTab of the staged pick.

When the last warehouse pick is registered, the warehouse staged pick is deleted automatically.
