      Note: Problem

      An error message, "No records found for the passed inputs" occurs.

      Cause

      While performing ad hoc moves, the system attempts to suggest a target location and create an ad hoc putaway task. To create this ad hoc task, the system refers to putaway strategy to determine the task type. However, the system does not determine the task type if all locations in the target zone are running full, or if a suitable location is not found to move the inventory.

      Resolution

      Configure the putaway strategy with a blank target zone. The system uses this configuration to determine the task type, and allows you to choose any valid location to move inventory. For more information about configuring putaway strategy, refer to the Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation: Warehouse Management System Configuration Guide.
