(ie if you had an order for 100 cases (1 pallet) and there was a pallet of 23 cases and a pallet of 100 cases if this is ticked it would pick the 23 from the first pallet then 76 from the next pallet and charge you 100 case pick, with this unticked it would ignore the 23 cases and pick the full pallet instead and only charge a pallet pick)
