Abstract
The invention relates to a method for picking order goods which are allocated to an order comprising a plurality of shipping containers. In the method, order goods allocated to the order are removed from a store (), transported into a dynamic buffer () and stored there temporarily. The dynamic buffer () comprises an infeed line (), an outfeed line (), a plurality of buffer lanes () arranged between the infeed line () and the outfeed line (), and at least one return lane () arranged therebetween. If a portion of the order goods available in the dynamic buffer () is sufficient to fill a predefinable number of shipping containers and is ready for packing, this portion of the order goods ready for packing is discharged from the dynamic buffer (), transported to a picking workstation () and transferred, there, into the predefined number of shipping containers. The predefined number of shipping containers is smaller here than the total number of shipping container necessary to fulfill the order. The invention also relates to a goods storage system () for carrying out said method.
