providing of a first source container (5) at the retrieval position (33) for sequential processing of at least one first order line having multiple items for a first order,
removing of an item from the first source container (5) that is provided at the retrieval position (33), and placing of the item in a first target container (27) that is provided at the loading position (35), in accordance with the first order if the first target container (27) has available space to receive the item,
triggering of a control signal after the last retrieval of an item from the first source container (5) or once it has been ascertained that an item cannot be placed in the first target container (27), and by the control signal
a conveyor device of a source container distribution system (3) arranged between the retrieval position (33) and the buffer track section (23) is controlled by a control unit (26) such that the first source container (5) is conveyed from the retrieval position (33) to the buffer track section (23),
the buffer track section (23) and a conveyor unit (49) at the retrieval position (33) are controlled by the control unit (26) such that a second source container (5) is transported to the retrieval position (33) for processing of one or more order lines for a second order, and
a conveyor unit (50) at the loading position (35) and a conveyor unit (31) of a target container distribution system (4) are controlled by the control unit (26) such that the first target container (27) is transported away from the loading position (35), and a second target container (27) is delivered to the loading position (35),

providing of the second source container (5) at the retrieval position (33) for processing of at least one or more order lines for the second order,
removing of an item from the second source container (5) that is provided at the retrieval position (33), and placing of the item in a second target container (27) that is provided at the loading position (35), in accordance with the second order,
transfer of the first source container (5) from the conveyor device to the buffer track section (23),
transport of the first source container (5) from the buffer track section to the retrieval position (33),
repeatedly providing of the first source container (5) at the retrieval position (33) for the purpose of picking the remaining items of the first order line,
removing of an item from the first source container (5) that is provided at the retrieval position (33), and placing of the item in a second target container (27) that is provided at the loading position (35), in accordance with the first order.
