Abstract
A system of order fulfillment. The system includes a pre-picking unit and a matching engine. The pre-picking unit picks orders and WIP (Work-In-Process) lots with forecast finishing dates to generate a pre-picked invoice including the designated orders and WIP lots. The matching engine generates a real invoice corresponding to the pre-picked invoice for one designated order and the matched WIP lot that reaches completion, and generates a new pre-picked invoice containing remaining orders, WIP lots, and corresponding settings.
