> Skip the standard picking workflow and send orders straight to a packing bench using Pack Now or Batch Pack Now.

Pack Now and Batch Pack Now let you skip the standard picking workflow and send orders straight to a packing bench. Stock is still allocated and all inventory movements are recorded - the only thing that changes is your team doesn't scan each pick individually.

Use these flows when:

* An order is urgent and needs to ship immediately.
* Your picker and packer are the same person.
* You want to consolidate picking into one warehouse pass at the end of the day.

Use **Pack Now** when you want to move directly into packing. It is the expedited exception to the normal workflow - it is not the standard mobile pick completion path.

## Pack Now

Use **Pack Now** to fast-track a single order.

1. Open the order in WMS.
2. Click **Pack Now**.
3. Select the packing bench to send it to.

The order moves straight to the **Packing dashboard**, ready to pack. Your team retrieves the items from the shelf and brings them to the bench.

## Batch Pack Now

Use **Batch Pack Now** to fast-track multiple orders at once.

1. Select the orders you want to expedite.
2. Click **Batch Pack Now**, choose a packing bench, and confirm.
3. WMS generates a **Packing Summary** listing all SKUs and quantities across the batch.

Your team uses the summary to collect everything in one warehouse pass, then sorts items per order at the bench during packing.

## Kitting

**Kitting** is the process of assembling component products into a finished bundle or kit. If you use *require stock* bundles that need to be pre-built before shipping, you manage this from the **Kitting** section in WMS.

For urgent situations, use **Expedited Kitting** to create and execute a kitting job in a single step - select the bundle, set the quantity and destination, and submit.

## FAQ

<!-- faq:start -->

<!-- faq:question -->Does skipping picking affect my inventory accuracy?<!-- /faq:question -->

No. WMS still allocates stock and records all movements. The only difference is your team doesn't scan each item during picking - quantities are confirmed at the packing bench instead.

<!-- faq:question -->Can I choose which packing bench to use?<!-- /faq:question -->

Yes. A selection dialog appears when you trigger Pack Now or Batch Pack Now.

<!-- faq:question -->Can I expedite orders with serial or batch tracking?<!-- /faq:question -->

Yes. WMS allocates the correct serials and batches upfront; your team confirms them during packing.
