Putaway: Depositing SKUs

About this task

The Mobile Application lets you deposit the SKUs that you picked into the system-suggested location.

To deposit the SKUs:

Procedure

  1. In SKU, enter or scan the SKU, if applicable.
  2. In Location, enter or scan the drop off location or container.
  3. Choose Go in the GUI mobile terminal to deposit the SKUs into the location. If using the CUI mobile terminal, press the F3 key. The system suggests the next deposit task or open task, if available.
  4. Choose Deposit All in the GUI mobile terminal to deposit all the SKUs that you picked into the location. If using the CUI mobile terminal, press the F6 key.
  5. Choose Exception in the GUI mobile terminal to record deposit exceptions. If using the CUI mobile terminal, press the F4 key. For more information about recording deposit exceptions, see Putaway: Recording Deposit Exceptions.
  6. Choose Drop Offs in the GUI mobile terminal to view a list of system-suggested drop off locations to deposit the SKUs. If using the CUI mobile terminal, press the F7 key. For more information about viewing a list of drop off locations, see Viewing Drop Off Locations.
    • If you cannot deposit SKUs into the system-suggested location, record the deposit exceptions. For more information about recording deposit exceptions, see Putaway: Recording Deposit Exceptions.
      Note: The system creates a second step move task only when at least one of the following two conditions are met:
      • When the suggested and the actual deposit locations have different location types.
      • If the location type of the system-suggested deposit location is “STAGING” and the zone of the actual deposit location is different from the zone of the system-suggested deposit location.

      Note:

      Problem: The system does not suggest second step putaway task on the
      Mobile Terminal. The second step putaway task is in 'Held' status
      and the receipt number is blanked out.
      Cause: Inventory belonging to multiple receipts is deposited in the same
      staging location.
      Resolution: While depositing loose SKUs, do NOT mix receipts in the
      same staging location.
