The categorizes putaway
request as a move from a particular location without necessarily specifying
the target location. In situations, where the target location is not
specified, the utilizes
its putaway algorithms to determine the optimal target location(s).
A putaway request is either created automatically
due to a related event that is carried out, or manually initiated
by a user.
Some examples for automated requests include:
- Putaway
from Dock—the receiving department requests the inventory department
to putaway stock at the dock location, specifying only the receipt
and dock-location. For example, the receipt of an item or closure
of a receipt for a shipment initiates a putaway request.
- Putaway
from Value-Added Services—the VAS department requests the inventory
department to move stock out of a VAS location. For example, a work
order completion creates inventory that requires move to storage locations.
An example for manual move requests include:
- Putaway
after Quality Inspection—the inspection department requests the inventory
department to move inventory that has completed inspection after receipt
to the storage locations.
Putaway requests are placed in the task management,
which utilizes constraints and preferences configured at the warehouse
level to determine the optimal target location(s).
