Dynamics 365 directs every pick. Why is the walking still whatever it is?

Four configuration objects decide where a picker goes and in what order, and every criterion inside them is about which stock rather than how far. In version 10.0.49 Microsoft added a preview wave step that does measure distance — it reorders pick lines inside one work record, from coordinates you maintain, toward a fixed objective. Read precisely, it tells you which part of the walk the ERP owns and which part nobody owns yet.
