System directed work sequencing setup offers the ability to sort and filter which work orders will the system present to the user for execution. This functionality solves scenarios where additional criteria is required to drive warehouse picking process, e.g. by the time of shipping, picking zone, Location profile, or even based on a combination of different criteria. This functionality extends the current system directed picking with new System directed query order where the user can set up a sequence and a query or multiple queries which will evaluate all created work orders. It will therefore capture and present only the work orders that meet the specified criteria of the mobile device menu item setup.
