Produce an order with print and stocked items

A customer order can need both a decorated blank and something already on the shelf. They meet in the same shipping bin and leave as one carton.

This is not a stock order. A stock order has no customer and ends in Place in warehouse — Produce a stock order.

The two kinds of line

Line	What it is	How it leaves the building
Print (POD)	You decorate a house blank	Batch → print → QC → shipping bin
Stocked	House retail or seller stock already on a slot	Pick list → same shipping bin

Seller-owned goods and house finished goods are never consumed as blanks. Hybrid variants print only when on-hand is already zero (POD fallback).

1. Batch the print lines

1. Open Manufacturing → Items.
2. Batch the print lines as you usually do.
3. Open Manufacturing → Batches.

Stocked lines on that order stay out of the press. They need a warehouse pick, not a decoration.

2. Generate the stocked pick

On the batch, open More → Generate pick task (stocked).

That creates a Pick list on Inventory → Tasks and reserves the units. If a pick is already open for this batch, it reuses that task — it does not reserve twice.

The button is off when the batch has no stocked lines.

Start Picking on the batch header is the print-floor pick (work the batch). It is not the warehouse pick for inventoried units.

3. Print the POD units into a shipping bin

Run print and QC. Finished print units go into a shipping bin — a tote, not a shelf. See open totes under Manufacturing → Bins.

If you try to finish the tote early you will see Waiting on stocked/premade picks. The carton is not ready until the pick is in.

4. Pick the inventoried units into the same bin

1. Open Inventory → Tasks.
2. Open the Pick list.
3. Pick from that owner’s slot (house retail or that seller).
4. Drop the units in the same shipping bin as the print lines.

If a line is short, fail that line, not the whole task.

5. Ship once

When print and pick are both in the tote, Ship Now on the order / QC dialog. One carton.

Unenrolled seller line

An unenrolled seller-owned line degrades to ignore. It does not stick the whole order. Coach the seller to enroll, then receive or place a stock order, before that line can pick.

Ignored is an order-line action, not a product state on Enrollment.

If it will not pick

• No pick task: More → Generate pick task (stocked) on the batch
• Putaway refused / empty slot: the SKU is not on a slot yet — receive or add inventory first
• Batch trying to consume seller stock as a blank: that path does not exist. Pull a house blank for print lines only
