Inventory in warehouses is organized optimally for pickers to efficiently and easily pick order items during fulfillment. Every location has its own unique identifier. Picklists contain orders that need to be fulfilled daily, the warehouse location of order items, and product details and quantity in that order. Published **June 27, 2023** Type **Product Update** Author **Aditya Patel** The strategy of managing multiple warehouse locations varies a great deal from retailer to retailer. Inventory in warehouses is organized optimally for pickers to efficiently and easily pick order items during fulfillment. Every location has its own unique identifier. Picklists contain orders that need to be fulfilled daily, the warehouse location of order items, and product details and quantity in that order. Previously, HotWax Commerce generated picklists showing product IDs or SKUs from either OMS or eCommerce. Some retailers, however, prefer to use product IDs of the ERP system since that's how they arrange their locations and products. In this update, HotWax Commerce allows retailers to show external product IDs in their picklist, making pickers' lives easier. ## More from this month ### [Product Update Merchandisers will get better explainability when PO’s future inventory is reallocated Read update](https://www.hotwax.co/product-updates/merchandisers-will-get-better-explainability-when-pos-future-inventory-is-reallocated) ### [Product Update Launched In-Store Returns Read update](https://www.hotwax.co/product-updates/launched-in-store-returns) ### [Product Update Organize Picklists by Sorting Order Items Read update](https://www.hotwax.co/product-updates/organize-picklists-by-sorting-order-items) [![HotWax Commerce](https://www.hotwax.co/hubfs/Hotwax-2021/HotWax_February2020/Images%20Icons,%20Apparel%20background,%20Hexagon/logo-hotwax-dark.svg "HotWax Commerce")](https://www.hotwax.co/) ### Connect ### Headquarters 175 S Main St Suite 1310, Salt Lake City, UT 84111 - Product - [Omnichannel Order Management](https://www.hotwax.co/product/omnichannel-order-management-system/) - [FAQ](https://www.hotwax.co/frequently-asked-questions) - [Product Updates](https://www.hotwax.co/product-update) - [Documentation](https://www.hotwax.co/hotwax-commerce-documentation) - Use cases - [Buy Online Pick-Up In Store](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/buy-online-pick-up-in-store-bopis-software/) - [Configurable Order Routing](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/configurable-order-routing) - [Ship From Store](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/ship-from-store-software) - [Unified Inventory](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/unified-inventory/) - [Pre-Orders](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/pre-orders/) - [Buy Online Return In Store](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/buy-online-return-in-store-boris-software) - [Store Inventory Management](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/store-inventory-management) - Solutions - [Omnichannel OMS for Shopify](https://www.hotwax.co/product/omnichannel-order-management-system-for-shopify/) - [Omnichannel Retail Sales Audit](https://www.hotwax.co/product/omnichannel-retail-sales-audit-oresa/) © 2026 HotWax Commerce ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Aditya Patel", "url" : "https://www.hotwax.co/product-updates/author/aditya-patel" }, "dateModified" : "2026-03-20T05:53:29.573Z", "datePublished" : "2023-06-27T18:30:00.000Z", "headline" : "Picklists Now Include External Product IDs", "image" : [ "https://www.hotwax.co/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Image%20%289%29.webp" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://www.hotwax.co/product-updates/picklists-now-include-external-product-ids", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://www.hotwax.co/hubfs/hotwax-logo.png" }, "name" : "HotWax Commerce" } } ```
