Pickzone Transfer
The Pickzone Transfer page allows you to view, create, edit, import, and delete pickzone transfer rules.
A Pickzone Transfer defines an allowed transition between two Pick Zones. Together, the set of transfer rules forms the permitted material flow sequence for pallet building. A pallet may only move from one pick zone to another if a corresponding transfer entry exists.
Example: A transfer from MLP → MUP means a pallet that received layers in the MLP zone is
allowed to continue to the MUP zone for additional articles. Without this entry, that transition is forbidden.
The core parameters of a pickzone transfer are:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Transfer ID | Unique internal identifier (auto-assigned) |
| Pickzone From | The source Pick Zone — where the pallet comes from |
| Pickzone To | The target Pick Zone — where the pallet goes next |
Each From–To combination must be unique. Duplicate transfers are rejected.

| Pickzone From | Dropdown of all available pick zones — select the source zone |

The Transfer ID is assigned automatically. Confirm with Save or abort with Cancel.
Edit Pickzone Transfer
An existing transfer rule can be modified via right-click → Edit in the table, or by double-clicking the corresponding table row. The same dialog as Add Pickzone Transfer is used, with the current From and To values pre-selected.
Saving an edited transfer deletes the original rule and creates a new one with the updated values.
