Abstract: The invention relates to a method for order picking of items at a picking station, wherein the source containers (5) are transported to a retrieval position (33) in an arbitrary sequence, and the target containers (27) are provided in a sorting buffer (36) with buffer positions (39) ahead of a single loading position (35). A first target container is transported back into the sorting buffer for processing of different order lines after placement of an item for a first order line, and is temporarily buffered at a sorting position (42) until a source container with an item for a second order line is conveyed onward into a buffer track section (23) provided upstream of the retrieval position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a combined picking and shipping method according to the goods-to-person principle. Shipping containers (VB) and packaging units (VP) are conveyed to a shipping station, and a packer at the shipping station manually packs packaging units that are directly conveyed to the shipping station onto a corresponding shipping unit (VE), said packer gathering individual articles (A) that are conveyed to the shipping station in a shipping container (VB) provided at the shipping station.
