# Infor LN 10.7 Picking Mission and Picking Profile Setup > Source: https://netray.co/erp-help/infor-ln-10-7-picking-mission-and-picking-profile > Publisher: Netray (netray.co), AI and integration engineering for ERP and manufacturing systems. > Section: ERP Help ## Short answer In Infor LN Warehousing, picking is driven by outbound orders that generate outbound advice, then warehouse orders and the pick work that follows. Picking profiles and related warehouse settings control how pick work is grouped and released, so most 'nothing to pick' problems come from item, warehouse or location setup rather than from the pick screen. ## Kind how-to ## System infor-ln ## Erp Infor LN 10.7 ## Module Warehousing / Outbound ## Query infor ln 10.7 picking mission ## Alternate Queries - infor ln picking profile 10.7 - infor ln warehousing picking - infor ln outbound picking setup ## Applies To Infor LN 10.7 with Warehousing active for the warehouse. Menu and session names differ slightly from 10.4 and from non-warehouse-controlled setups. ## Steps ### Get picking working in a warehouse **Items:** - Confirm the warehouse is set as warehouse-controlled with locations, and that items are stocked in locations rather than only by quantity. - Define the outbound inventory procedure for the order type, so the order knows how goods are issued from the warehouse. - Set up picking profiles and the related warehouse parameters according to how you want pick work grouped, for example by order, by zone or in waves. - Release a sales or production order to the warehouse and confirm outbound advice and warehouse orders are generated. - Check locating results: if the system cannot find stock in a pickable location, no pick work appears. - Open the pick work in the warehouse session or on the handheld, confirm quantity and location, and complete the pick. - Verify the downstream step, such as shipment and goods issue, updates inventory and the order status. ## Sections ### The flow behind a picking mission **Body:** A picking mission is the practical unit of pick work: take this quantity of this item from this location and move it toward shipping or production. It is the end of a chain that starts with an order line, becomes outbound advice, is turned into warehouse orders and then into pick work. Because the chain is long, 'why is nothing to pick' is best debugged from the left. Is the order released, was advice generated, did locating find stock, and was the warehouse order released to the floor? ### What a picking profile is for **Body:** A picking profile expresses the rules for how pick work is created and presented, rather than what is on the order. Think of it as the policy: how to group lines, how to split work, and which rules apply to a warehouse or order type. The exact parameters on offer are version specific, so use the Infor 10.7 warehousing documentation as the authority for field meanings. Keep profiles few. Many near-identical profiles make behaviour hard to predict and hard to train floor staff on. ### Why stock exists but cannot be picked **Body:** The common blockers are inventory in a blocked or non-pickable status, stock sitting in an inbound or staging location, lot or serial restrictions, and quantity already allocated to other orders. Check the on-hand by location and status before adjusting any setup. Handheld and warehouse-order scanning issues are usually permission or device configuration problems, not picking logic problems. Test the same pick from the desktop to separate the two. **Code:** Debug order for 'nothing to pick' 1. Order released to warehouse? 2. Outbound advice generated? 3. Locating found stock in pickable locations? 4. Warehouse order created and released? 5. User authorised for the warehouse and device? ## Pitfalls - Changing picking profiles in production without testing on one order type first. - Leaving received stock in a staging location and expecting it to be pickable. - Mixing warehouse-controlled and non-controlled items on one order without checking the flow. - Over-allocating through manual reservations that the locating logic cannot see. - Skipping a desktop test when handhelds fail to confirm a pick. ## Ai Angle Floor and planning teams ask questions like 'why was this order not picked yet' that cut across orders, advice and stock. A private assistant over your LN data can trace one order through those steps read-only and name the blocking step, with all processing on your own servers. Any change to profiles or stock stays a human decision. ## Faq ### What is a picking mission in Infor LN? **Answer:** It is the pick work generated from an outbound warehouse order: move a quantity of an item from a location toward shipping or production. It follows from the order, outbound advice and warehouse order steps in Warehousing. ### What does a picking profile do? **Answer:** It holds the rules that shape how pick work is created and grouped for a warehouse or order type. The available parameters depend on your LN version, so confirm field meanings in the 10.7 documentation before changing them. ### Why does Infor LN show no pick work for a released order? **Answer:** Work backwards: check outbound advice was generated, locating found pickable stock, and the warehouse order was released. Blocked inventory status, staging locations and lot restrictions are frequent causes. ### Does picking behave differently in LN 10.7 than in earlier versions? **Answer:** The concept is the same, but sessions and some parameters have changed between versions. Always test on a copy of your data and read the release notes for your exact tools and application level. ## Search terms infor ln picking mission, infor ln 10.7 warehousing, infor ln picking profile, infor ln outbound advice, infor ln warehouse order, infor ln no pick work, ln locating, ln wms picking --- Talk to an engineer: https://netray.co/contact?intent=erp_ai | Machine catalog: https://netray.co/agent/catalog.json
