Understanding Remarks

Remarks are location identifiers stored with inventory stock:

• Bin Locations: Physical storage locations (e.g., "A1", "B3", "Shelf-2")
• Storage Areas: Larger location identifiers (e.g., "Back Room", "Display Case")
• Warehouse Sections: Warehouse organization schemes
• Empty Remarks: Items without remarks appear together at the end
• Normalization: "No Remark" or "No Remarks" treated as empty
• Per Stock Item: Each stock entry can have its own remark

Sorting by Remark

Sort options that prioritize location grouping:

• Remark / Set / A-Z: Group by location, then set, then alphabetically
• Remark / A-Z: Group by location, then alphabetically
• Order / Remark: Group by order, then by location within each order
• Remark: Sort primarily by location
• Multi-Level Grouping: Creates nested groups for efficient picking

Optimizing Picking Routes

Best practices for efficient picking:

• Use Remark Sorting: Sort by remark to visit each location once
• Alphabetical Within Location: Use "Remark / A-Z" for consistent order
• Set Grouping: "Remark / Set / A-Z" groups cards from same set together
• Physical Layout: Assign remarks that match your warehouse layout
• Route Planning: Pick all items from one location before moving to next
• Minimize Travel: Grouping reduces back-and-forth movement

Managing Remarks

How to set and manage location remarks:

1. Navigate to inventory item details
2. Edit stock item and set "Remark" field
3. Use consistent naming scheme (e.g., "A1", "A2", "B1")
4. Remarks are stored per stock entry, not per product
5. When stock is deducted, remark is preserved in deduction log
6. Picklist uses remark from deduction log for sorting

Handling Empty Remarks

Items without location remarks:

• Grouped Together: All items without remarks appear in one group
• End of List: Empty remarks typically sorted to end
• Normalization: "No Remark", "No Remarks", empty string all treated same
• Consideration: Assign remarks to improve picklist organization
• Bulk Update: Can bulk update remarks for multiple items
