Some companies store materials in different locations depending on the type of component. For example, a bakery may have separate storage areas for regular and refrigerated ingredients.

The following configuration demonstrates how to separate picking operations in a two-step manufacturing process based on the category or type of components for the bakery. This approach ensures an optimized workflow by directing each component to the appropriate staging area before production.

⚠️ When to use this configuration?

This setup is useful in the following scenarios:

  • Different Warehouse Keepers per Location – When each storage area is managed by a different person or team, separating picking operations ensures better organization and accountability.
  • Picking Happens at Different Times – If certain materials need to be picked earlier or later than others, this configuration allows better scheduling and workflow management.
  • Different Reservation Methods per Product Category – When products require different reservation strategies (e.g., first come, first served vs. scheduled allocation), separating picking operations ensures proper inventory handling.

Solution:
Let’s see how to make it work for the bakery company:
First, we need to configure the categories. In this case, we will use Cold Ingredients and Regular Ingredients. However, you can create as many categories as needed to match your process requirements.
  1. Create one product category for each type of product and assign them to the products:



We should create a location for each category. This location will be where the products are stored before the picking.
  1. 2. Create locations:


For this case, we will use two picking operations—one for each category.
  1. 3. Create two picking operations and set the source location.



Then, we need to create a route for each category to ensure that the components will be assigned to the correct picking operation.

​4. Create routes and rules for each picking type:
​5. Make sure applicable on product categories checkbox is checked in the route

  • In the rule, set the operation type and source location based on the type of component and location necessity.





Finally, we need to add the route to the product categories
  1. 6. Add the routes to the product category:

You're ready to test it! Create and confirm a manufacturing order, and two transfers should be generated—one for cold ingredients and another for regular ingredients.
