1. An order-picking method for picking at least one ordered good into or onto a target loading aid, comprising the steps;
storing a plurality of goods of different types of good into a first storage zone using a plurality of first loading aids, wherein the first loading aids respectively receive the plurality of goods, wherein a totality of the types of good stored in the first storage zone corresponds to a line of goods available;
generating a transfer request for rearranging a plurality of transfer goods of a first type of good of the different types of good from the first storage zone into a second storage zone when goods of the first type of good are low in stock in the second storage zone;
reloading the plurality of transfer goods from at least one first loading aid of the plurality of first loading aids into or onto at least one second loading aid and transporting the at least one second loading aid into the second storage zone on the basis of the transfer request;
obtaining a picking order for picking the at least one ordered good and ascertaining the at least one ordered good required for this picking order; and
retrieving the at least one ordered good from the second storage zone and loading the at least one ordered good into or onto the target loading aid on the basis of the picking order;
wherein
during the execution of the transfer request, the at least one first loading aid of the plurality of first loading aids is fully or partially unloaded, depending on whether a parameter which is allocated to the first type of good reaches a threshold value.
