For example, if there are 100 pieces in a carton and the order is for 80 pieces, the order picker picks 20 pieces out of the carton, places those 20 pieces in another carton, and puts the carton with the 80 remaining pieces into the order being picked. In another example, if there are 40 cartons on a pallet and the order calls for 35 cartons, the order picker picks 5 cartons and places them on another pallet, and puts the pallet with the remaining 35 cartons in to the order.
