Skip SKU in pick/pack screen and move to end of order to action later

I have an idea I would like to see implemented in the app that is quite common in other WMS implementations, a function to skip a sku in a order/picklist and have that sku moved to the bottom of the order, to be actioned later provided the stock is physically present.
The context and use case for this is that there are items that we may want to skip in parts of the pick/pack process due to:
Stock being immediately unavailable like being stored on the rack and needing to wait for the stock to be brought down and still wanting to pick the remainder of the order while waiting, (this happens a lot in our workplace)
Or,
Items that have not been given a appropriate bin location in the product catalogue by the Warehouse Manager and appear at the top of the picklist and we want to skip to action at the right time in the intended pick path.
Or, just putting a SKU “on hold” while we action any discrepancies/queries about the related sales order before completing packing and/or printing.
How I would like to see this be implemented is a swipe left/right action if possible, as I feel the addition of another button will crowd the sometimes limited screen space and present a risk of mis-pressing (no more than a mis-swipe nonetheless).
Thanks for your consideration.
