ABSTRACT:
A commissioning device has several shift-out magazines arranged on a conveying path for accommodating items stacked therein. The items are introduced in insert spaces of the shift-out magazines in the form of item stacks. The shift-out magazines are preceded by an item stack throughput storage device each equipped with an itermittently operated advancing device, and when the advancing device is triggered, a row of item stacks present in said throughput storage device is moved forward by one receiving space, and the at least one foremost item stack is introduced into the insert space of the respective shift-out magazine. In the shift-out magazines, the insert spaces are located beside the shift-out spaces, and a transverse slide is arranged in the insert space for shifting the item stacks into an adjacent shift-out space. In each shift-out space there is provided a supply sensor by which a transverse shifting step of the transverse slide can be triggered as soon as the supply of items present in the shift-out space has fallen below a pre-determined limit by the successive shifting out of item units, and by this transverse shifting step an item stack can be transferred from the insert space into the respective shift-out space.
