During the normal course of the day, the system automatically generates waves based on parameters defined by the system administrator. The waves are generated based on shipment groups that have been given a sequence and a defined set of selector criteria. When waves are created, the system analyzes the shipments in need of picking and evaluates them against a shipment group's selector criteria based on the group's sequence. If the shipment does not match up with the group's selector criteria, the shipment is then evaluated by the next shipment group in the sequence, until a match has been found. The shipment is then added to that shipment group. Once all shipments have been matched up with the appropriate shipment groups, waves are created for those groups.
