It is a tradeoff that each companies must do. You can have fixed place for each product. Or another solution for such problem is to make a proposal to the user where to pick the product (without assignation) but as soon as he pick a product it must register it in the system and if the product is no more there, the user must ask for a new location. This is a little bit how amazon warehouse works, the picker receive on his screen the place of the next product to pick (because they have no predefined places). -- Cédric Krier - B2CK SPRL Email/Jabber: [email protected] Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
