B.sub.n) for a commissioner (A to F), a pre-determined number of product types on stock (16) is associated to each commissioning region (B.sub.1, B.sub.2, B.sub.3, . . . B.sub.n), and at least one of the commissioning regions neighboring a respective commissioning region forms a supplementary commissioning region to that commissioning region. The containers (14) empty their contents onto the central belt (3) under the control of a control computer (29), and for each commissioner (A to F) a terminal (37) is provided for communication with the control computer (29).
