Cross-Line Stock Putaway In the case of this function, a sort sequence supports the system when searching for suitable storage bins. You can use sort sequences to prevent one part of the warehouse from being overburdened and to optimize the putaway of goods. If you have not defined a sort sequence, the system sorts by storage bin name.

We recommend cross-line stock putaway for storage types with the following settings:
Storage behavior
Standard Warehouse
and putaway rule
Empty Bin
Storage behavior
Pallet Storage
If the system cannot find a storage bin for the addition to existing stock, it uses sort sequences to search for a storage bin. This means that you can also define cross-line stock putaway for storage types with the storage behavior
Standard Warehouse
and putaway rule
Addition to Existing Stock
/
Empty Bin
or with the storage behavior
Bulk Storage
.
