A method for arranging different articles in an order-oriented manner from a long-term warehouse in accordance with a plurality of orders, in particular picking orders, is proposed, comprising the following steps: a) defining an analysis quantity, which comprises a quantity of n orders, wherein each of the orders of the analysis quantity comprises at least one order line, wherein each of the order lines respectively specifies an ordered article with regard to an article type thereof and with regard to an ordered number of pieces; b) quasi-continuously transferring stored articles in an article-pure manner from the long-term warehouse to the short-term warehouse comprising the steps of: i) selecting an arbitrary one of the article types contained in the analysis quantity; ii) analyzing each of the orders of the analysis quantity in dependence on the selected article type; iii) determining total requirements of the selected article type; iv) transferring the total requirements of the selected article type from the long-term warehouse to the short-term warehouse; v) repeating the steps i) to iv) for one other article type contained in the analysis quantity, which has not yet been selected, until each of the article types contained in the analysis quantity are selected, analyzed and transferred; c) determining at least one complete order, preferably by repeatedly determining and checking the transferred articles with regard to complete orders, wherein a complete order is one of the orders of the analysis quantity the associated articles thereof all being already present in the short-term warehouse; d) discharging a subset of the transferred articles from the short-term warehouse, wherein the subset comprises at least all of the ordered articles of the at least one complete order; and e) repeating the steps c) and d) until each of the orders of the analysis quantity has become complete.
