Check whether this item can be sold individually
The sample item IT-B is sold individually, twelve per carton, and the approved warehouse policy allows carton breaking. Order O-D requests seventeen units. Two intact cartons exist. This permission is specific to IT-B; it cannot be copied to sealed sets or goods with other handling conditions.
| Container | Starting units | Order pick | Remainder location |
|---|---|---|---|
| C-D1 | 12 | 12 to O-D | Empty |
| C-D2 | 12 | 5 to O-D | 7 in open-carton bin OC-D |
| Pick PK-D | 17 requested | 17 checked | Order quantity unchanged |
Pick the required units and identify the remainder
- Check individual-sale permission
- Confirm carton conversion
- Pick one carton and five units
- Count and locate seven remaining units
- Check seventeen for packing
If carton breaking is not permitted, send the quantity issue to the order owner; do not round seventeen up to twenty-four without an amended order.
Record base quantities and both container references. A pick instruction of “1.4167 cartons” is unsuitable for this physical task because it hides the exact five-unit break. Any opened packaging must still meet the agreed item-specific condition check, which this worksheet does not invent.
Can the seven-unit remainder be shown as one intact carton?
Show the worked answer
No. The order has seventeen units and the open carton has seven. Together they account for the original twenty-four; the remainder is seven each, not a twelve-unit carton.
