In a warehouse, picking quantities from a case but not using the entire case is known as __________ picking.

• A. Split case
• B. Full case
• C. Piece picking
• D. Bulk pick

Answer: (A)

Split-case picking is the process of taking only part of a case to fulfill an order, leaving the rest of the items from that case to be used later or allocated to a different order. This happens when the required quantity is smaller than a full case, or when multiple orders share the same case contents. It speeds up fulfillment by avoiding unnecessary handling of a whole case, but it requires careful inventory control to track the remaining items and prevent miscounts. Full-case picking would involve removing an entire case as a unit, while piece picking refers to selecting individual items, often from shelves, not necessarily tied to a single case. Bulk pick generally means pulling large quantities without regard to individual cases.
