Multi-Order-Picking als Kommissioniermethode
MOP (also called batch picking) is a defined system for picking goods and merchandise for multiple orders at the same time. This means that several orders are processed at the same time, so that the picking operator's walking distances are significantly shorter.
For this method, some criteria and variants must be considered. There are two possible variants for release: manual release via the planning of the picking or by an automated release.

Picking variants:
- Voucherless or voucher-guided
- Single or multi-level
- With or without heap picking
Priorities can also be set for the picking sequence. Thus, multi-order picking can be configured purely route-optimized, purely according to articles or according to picking areas. Picking can also be carried out in trolleys or directly in shipping cartons. The order confirmation of the MOP can be done by shipment and cart compartment, with the packaging confirmed directly on the MDE scanner.
Automatic order release
How does it work?
At the beginning, the release steps for planning the picking are defined. For this purpose, release steps as well as the necessary criteria are defined on the one hand.
Release steps include a fulfillment check, warehouse allocation, as well as release by single order or MOP and order replenishment. For order release criteria, there is a choice between document-based and documentless picking, a release for MOP capability, specification for single or two-stage picking, supplemented by order priority and possible VAS handling.
In addition, certain time-based scenarios can be defined as criteria for multi-order picking. These scenarios can be defined over a period of time and can also be assigned to the MOP criteria. This enables the assignation of more or fewer shipments to a picking cart depending on the time of day.
In addition, orders in picking are already taken into account and a minimum number of orders can be defined for MOP picking. Depending on requirements or priority, all criteria for checking for optimal MOPs are switched into the desired order to analyze the order pool.
What is the additional value?
The goal is a simplified and accelerated order release where the optimal MOP run is selected. Automation also enables timely release without "false" releases.
MOP-Builder
The MOP Builder defines the criteria for combining pick orders into optimal MOP runs.
How does the MOP Builder work?
The warehouse is divided into different multi-order picking areas and completed by possible combinations and definition of distances between the areas.
Then MOP criteria sets are defined, such as based on:
- Number of items
- Volume
- Weight
- Carrier
In addition, the batch size range is set based on the number of shipments.
What are the improvements?
Shorter walking distances and picking times, resulting in an increase in pick numbers.
Advantages of the MOP method
Multi-Order Picking allows multiple orders to be processed in less time, increasing picker efficiency. The goal is to reduce the total time of all picking tours, thus guaranteeing faster order processing for the picker. After picking, the picked items are assigned to the corresponding individual orders.

The full form of SRP is the Suggested Retail Price.
SRP refers to the price set by manufacturers at which the retailers are supposed to sell items in the market. SRP plays a crucial role in ensuring the price equilibrium of a commodity so that the same item has an equal price across different stores.
Thus, the manufacturers consider the retailers&#; profits and other market situations like the costs incurred in manufacturing the commodity followed by suggesting a price at which the retailers sell the commodities. The SRP of an item is set so that the manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers can earn their expected profits from the market by selling them.
It is thus evident that brands or manufacturers fix both the MOP price and the SRP. While MOP refers to the price at which the retailers buy the products from the manufacturers, SRP is the price at which the retailers can sell their commodities.

Why are MOP and SRP Required for Large Enterprise Businesses?
Both MOP and SRP are crucial in large enterprise businesses because they help bring about a decent and disciplined pricing strategy for buying and selling the products and services of a brand.
While MOP ensures the retailers can purchase the commodities from the manufacturers at a uniform price, SRP ensures that the customers across every location in a country can buy these products at a fixed and uniform price.
Thus, following a strict pricing strategy is essential for enterprises that sell their products and services across diverse locations. A fixed pricing strategy helps avoid price confusion in the market, leading to widespread customer dissatisfaction.
