What exactly does this pick task ask you to collect?

Example answer

This asks for 18 individual blue cloths, SKU CL-210-B, from A-03-02. At six per carton, three verified full cartons provide the 18 items. I would check the location label, full SKU and pack quantity against the task. The neighboring green cloths are a different SKU even though their pack size matches. I would confirm 18 EA in the site's workflow, not 18 cartons. If a carton is open, I would check its actual contents before counting it as six.

Worked solution

18 EA ÷ 6 EA per carton = 3 full cartons. The division works only because the stock label confirms six of the requested item in each full carton. The label is evidence of the pack quantity, while the task determines the requested unit of measure.

A correct location alone is insufficient: stock could have been misplaced. Matching the product's complete identifier helps catch the similar-SKU error before it reaches packing.

Assessment criteria

• Supplies 18 individual items with a correct quantity method, such as three verified six-item cartons or eighteen individually checked items.
• Checks A-03-02 and the full CL-210-B identifier.
• Distinguishes the adjacent green item and verifies any open-carton quantity.

Stronger answer: Explains that carrying three cartons does not change the task's confirmation unit from EA to cartons.

Acceptable alternatives: Three checked full cartons or 18 individually verified matching items can supply the order under the stated EA-pick rule. Any clear calculation is acceptable.

Material mistakes: Picking 18 cartons, using the adjacent green SKU, or treating an open carton as full without checking its contents.

Follow-up question

What if only two full cartons and four loose blue cloths are present?

That is 2 × 6 + 4 = 16 EA, two short of the task. Verify the count and use the approved shortage process or authorized replenishment path. Do not confirm 18, take green cloths, or assume a carton contains more than its verified pack quantity.
