Click Transport. In the Picking route status field, select the appropriate value:
Select Completed to generate orders that have a picking status of Completed. This option is useful if picking processes are handled by one person.
Select Activated to generate orders that have a picking status of Activated. When this option is used, the picking process must be manually activated. Additionally, the picking process must be manually completed to change the status of the orders to Completed.
