About this task

You enter or scan the inventory information and quantity for loose inventory that you want to putaway.

To enter or scan the inventory information:

Procedure

  1. In Item/Case, enter or scan the item's identifier, case or pallet LPN.
  2. Choose Close Containers to close any open containers that are present at the sort station.
  3. Press the Tab key in the GUI or CUI mobile terminal.
    • If you scan loose SKU, in the Scan Inventory screen, enter the SKU quantity you want to sort. The Scan Item screen appears. You can scan the pallet and location details. For more information about pallet and location information, see Sorting for Multiple Activities.
      Note: All locations that are associated with the sort station must have the same in-staging location. This in-staging location is considered as the source location for loose SKUs, when sorting inventory before putaway.
    • If the case or pallet you scanned requires splitting, the Scan Item screen appears. Scan the items present in the case. For information about sorting items, see Sorting for Multiple Activities.
    • If the case or pallet you scanned does not require splitting, the Scan Container screen appears. Scan the pallet and location details. For more information about scanning pallet and location details, see Sorting into Case, Pallet, or Location.
