Acceptance

“Acceptance plays a decisive role in logistics, particularly in the design of efficient picking processes. In the logistics context, however, acceptance does not necessarily have to coincide with the picking unit, which offers scope for flexible and optimized processes.

An apt example is shortened two-stage picking. Here, an outer packaging unit is removed, while picked sales units are placed in customer-specific picking containers. Acceptance” therefore takes place at different levels, whereby the total acceptance does not necessarily correspond to the unit that was taken directly from the warehouse.

The use of “Acceptance” in logistics enables precise control of acceptance at different levels. This not only promotes flexibility in warehouse management, but also facilitates the traceability of goods movements. Companies can optimize their picking processes as acceptance can be precisely defined at various stages of the flow of goods.
