A system for commissioning articles stored on source pallets in a pallet warehouse has a supply-conveyor line for supplying source pallets from the pallet warehouse to commissioning work stations having packing stations. Customer orders are assigned to a packing station. At the packing station a customer-transporting means is provided for picking up the articles to be directly commissioned from the source pallets. An outlet conveying line removes source pallets that are no longer needed from the commissioning work station back into the pallet warehouse or to another commissioning work station. An article arrival conveying line conveys the source pallets from an article arrival to the pallet warehouse. Automated guided vehicles are provided for conveying the source pallets along the article arrival conveying line, the supply-conveyor line and/or the outlet conveying line.
