When your location is set up to require warehouse put-away
processing and warehouse receive processing, you use the warehouse
put-away documents to control the putting away of items.
When you post a warehouse
receipt, the program updates the source documents (purchase,
inbound transfer or sales return order), posts the quantity
received to the item ledger, and sends the lines about the items
received to the put-away function in the warehouse. (If you have
internal put-away and pick, the internal put-away can also create
lines for put-away.)
To Put Items Away without Directed Put-away and Pick:
Depending on the warehouse setup, the program either makes the
lines available to the put-away worksheet or creates put-away
instructions immediately. For information on planning put-away in
the put-away worksheet, see Planning
Put-aways in the Worksheet. To find the put-away instructions,
click Warehouse Management,
Put-aways. All lines for
items received – also those combined or sorted in the worksheet –
eventually become put-away lines. The put-away lines contain the
program’s and perhaps a senior employee’s suggestions about the
specific placement of the items in the bins.
Use the following process to put items away when your location
is not set up to use directed put-away and pick:
Open the Warehouse
Put-away window. Then press F5 to see a list of all the
put-away documents that have been created. Once you have selected
the document you want, you can then sort the lines by various
criteria, for example, item, shelf number or due date, and thereby
optimize the put-away process.
In the Qty. to Handle field, enter the
quantity you want to put away.
If you want to print a Whse.
Put-away Report, click Print.
Once you have completed putting the items away, click
Registering, Register Put-away to record the completion
of the activity and make the items available for picking.
To Put Items Away with Directed Put-away and Pick:
If your location is set up to use directed put-away and pick,
depending on the warehouse setup, the program either makes the
lines available to the put-away worksheet or creates put-away
instructions immediately. For information on planning put-away in
the put-away worksheet, see Planning
Put-aways in the Worksheet. To find instructions, click
Warehouse Management,
Put-aways. All lines for
items received – also those combined or sorted in the worksheet –
eventually become put-away lines. The put-away lines contain the
program’s and perhaps a senior employee’s suggestions about the
specific placement of the items in the bins.
The program uses the following criteria to make a put-away
suggestion:
the put-away template that warehouse management has set up for
the warehouse
the weight, cubage and special storage requirements of the item
or stockkeeping unit
the capacity, bin type and bin ranking of the bins.
The bin ranking is taken into consideration when more than one
bin matches put-away template criteria. If both the put-away
template criteria and the bin ranking are the same for more than
one bin, the bin with the highest number is selected.
If necessary, someone in the warehouse can override these
suggestions by entering another zone and bin on the put-away lines.
When the instructions are final, a warehouse employee puts the
items away as follows:
Open the Warehouse
Put-away window. If put-away instructions have been
created, a warehouse put-away is visible.
If your warehouse requires, enter your user ID in the header
when you begin work on a particular put-away.
To print the instructions, click Print.
Perform the “Take” and “Place” actions (Action Type field) indicated on the
lines.
Note that each receipt line has
become at least two lines in the warehouse put-away:
The first line, with Action Type field “Take”, indicates
where the items are located in the receiving area. You cannot
change the zone and bin field on this line.
The next line(s), with Action Type field “Place”, show where
you must place the items in warehouse storage. If the warehouse has
received a large number of items on one receipt line, the program
may have to put them away in several bins, and there is a “Place”
line for each bin.
If the Take and Place lines for each
receipt line do not immediately follow one another, and you want
them to do so, you can sort the lines by selecting Item in the
Sorting Method field on the
header.
If the physical layout of the
warehouse reflects the bin rankings, you can use the Bin Ranking
sorting method to prepare a put-away round that will minimize your
steps through the warehouse.
When you have placed all the items in bins as instructed, click
Registering, Register
Put-away (or press F11).
If an outbound source document
requires the items that you just put away, you can prepare a shipment with them.
If you want to see the record of the put-away you can open the
Registered
Put-away window.
Warehouse
Put-away window. Then press F5 to see a list of all the
put-away documents that have been created. Once you have selected
the document you want, you can then sort the lines by various
criteria, for example, item, shelf number or due date, and thereby
optimize the put-away process.
