Pick list failure handling - partial picks, multi-day scenarios
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Mar 14, 2026 by aolson-symple Closed Mar 14, 2026
Context
During v1.7.4 planning, we identified edge cases around pick list completion that need separate handling.
Scenarios to Address
- Partial picking - Load has 10 items, only 7 get picked today. What happens?
- Multi-day picking - Items picked Monday, truck delayed until Wednesday
- Pick failure - Item assigned to pick list but unavailable (damaged, can't locate, wrong quantity)
- Worker reassignment - Worker assigned to pick list but unable to complete (sick, end of shift)
Current Assumption
Loads typically complete same-day. These failure scenarios are deferred for now.
Questions to Answer
- Does load stay in
pickingstatus until all items picked? - Can load transition to
loadingwith partial picks? - How do we handle items that can't be picked (substitute, cancel, defer)?
- Do we need a
stagedstatus betweenpickingandloading?
