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

  1. Partial picking - Load has 10 items, only 7 get picked today. What happens?
  2. Multi-day picking - Items picked Monday, truck delayed until Wednesday
  3. Pick failure - Item assigned to pick list but unavailable (damaged, can't locate, wrong quantity)
  4. 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 picking status until all items picked?
  • Can load transition to loading with partial picks?
  • How do we handle items that can't be picked (substitute, cancel, defer)?
  • Do we need a staged status between picking and loading?
