German term or phrase: Kommissionierauftrag
The text deals with supply management and must be translated into US English. I discovered that kommissionieren is a Zusammenstellung von Lieferungen aus vorhandenen Beständen nach Anforderungen des Kunden and that this is called *order picking* is US English. Now how do I convert the verb order picking to the noun? Picking orders?

SAP software calls it "pick order" though I suppose there's nothing wrong with "picking order" either.

Explanation:
order picking request

I don't think "order picking contract/purchase" can be used here, since this activity is strictly within a company and not requested by a customer. It does mean an order from production control to the warehouse to move finished goods from the shelves and to prepare them for shipping.
