The putaway process includes putting goods away in storage bins in the warehouse. There are
putaway strategies in the Warehouse Management (WM) system that simplify the search for appropriate storage bins.Regardless of how your company executes the putaway process, you can make settings in the system so that goods are put away:
A
putaway status is recorded in each delivery item for the purpose of scheduling and monitoring the putaway process. This status indicates what stage the item is at in the putaway process (putaway has started for item A, for instance).Prerequisites
In the system standard settings, it is a prerequisite for goods receipt to be posted before the item relevant for putaway can be put away completely. This means that the delivery quantity must be the same as the putaway quantity in the inbound delivery.
The Warehouse Management system (WMS) module is fully integrated in Logistics Execution (LE). For example, you can create a WM transfer order directly from the inbound delivery. The current status of the warehouse management process can also be monitored from the delivery, for instance.
