Directed Putaway can be used in location-tracked warehouses and stores to automatically determine where to place merchandise that is: 1) to be received from purchase orders, 2) coming in from transfers, or 3) temporarily located in receiving locations. Product and storage location settings for height, width, depth, and velocity are used to determine the best storage location for placement of merchandise based on the established rules.
During the creation of a putaway plan, the system assigns destination storage locations and quantities to merchandise selected for putaway processing. Storage location assignments and quantities can be overridden by users with the proper extended security. Following putaway planning, users can be assigned to putaway tasks via the Create an AWM Schedule process and putaway tasks performed via RF scanning or manually.

RF Scanner Process - If directed putaway is active at the warehouse location, directed putaway processing is available via RF scanning. When there are active putaway assignments for a location, the user is directed to specific bins to pick up the merchandise and then directed to put the merchandise away in the assigned storage location.
Once you scan the location label, a list of products destined for that location and their associated quantities are displayed on the scanner.
The options for the location prompt allow you to SKIP, PS (Pick Sort) or AS (Aisle Sort) to another location. If more than 3 products are destined for the location, the "(P)age" option is displayed. Enter "P" to view the next page of products.
On the last page of products, you are prompted to start scanning the products destined for the specified location.
You can scan any product from the list that is destined for the currently scanned location. As merchandise is scanned, the display is refreshed showing the remaining products and quantities.
Putaway Assignment Report - Print grid information on Plan Directed Putaway Assignments screen.
Report Putaway Exceptions by User - Report exceptions created when merchandise is not placed in system-assigned storage locations, does not fit, or cannot be assigned due to missing dimensions.
Report and Optimize Product to Storage Velocity - Identify products whose velocity or storage category does not match the velocity or storage category of the storage location where they are currently placed.
