Pick, check and despatch an urgent chilled order
You are a Picker and Despatch Officer on the afternoon shift.
What has happened
Merriwa Foods has placed an urgent order, SO-77201, for six pallets of frozen pastry sheets to be first drop on the Mulgrave run tomorrow morning. The order sits on the consignment board as CN-260907-0015 with the status Picked, but nothing has been picked yet. The stock register shows the pastry in the chilled chamber, but one bay shows forty-eight cartons while the order needs sixty from that batch, and a second batch with an earlier use-by is in a different bay. The team leader has asked that the order be picked first-expiring-first, second-person checked, wrapped and staged in lane S-02 so that it loads last.
Deliverables
- Updated stock register records for each picked pallet, including the pick exception
- Updated consignment record with checker, staging lane, vehicle and status
- Copies of the pallet labels and the pick list with the second-person check recorded
- A message to customer service explaining the shortfall and the quantity being delivered

Evidence guide
Check that the student picked the earliest use-by batch first, raised a pick exception rather than substituting stock, and had the order independently checked. The labels must carry the required information and the staging lane must match the load order. Register and consignment updates must be timely and consistent with each other, and the shortfall must have been communicated before despatch.
