Box Putaway to Inward Staging locations

There are 2 ways to putaway boxes in inward Staging locations.

  1. Inward Staging Putaway

  2. Pallet wise Putaway

Inward Staging Putaway

This screen is used to putaway 1 box at a time at any Inward Staging location.

Inward Staging putaway screen is present at WMS Home → Inward Staging Area → Inward Staging Putaway.

Go to Inward Staging Putaway screen. You can get the nearest empty location in an aisle by entering any location on right textbox Check nearest Empty Location in Aisle.

Scan Inward Box ID.

If boxes of the same gate entry are put away already in some locations, those locations will be reflected in the Suggested locations.

Accordingly, put away the boxes preferably the same gate entry boxes together.

 

Multiple boxes of same gate entry can be put away in one location.

Multiple boxes of different gate entry can’t be put away in one location.

Same gate entries boxes can be put away to multiple locations.

 

Pallet Wise Put Away

This workflow to be used only when items are already consolidation

Inward staging location stickers will be pasted on pallets. Putaway of boxes on these locations (physically pallets) will be used to maintain inventory accuracy.

If pallets arrive at the warehouse, we have the option to scan the multiple boxes within the pallet using the Pallet-wise Putaway screen. This allows us to put away the entire pallet at once by transporting it to a designated location for storage.
