Overview
Direct Put is the one-step way to carry out replenishment on the Logiwa IO mobile app. You take stock from the source location and place it straight into the target location on a single screen. There is no separate put phase: when you complete the pick, the stock lands in the target location you scanned and the task is done.
When to use it
Use Direct Put when:
One operator moves stock from reserve to the pick face in a single trip.
You don't need to stage stock on a cart or in an interim location.
Target locations are close to the source, so batching on a cart adds no value.
To collect stock for several targets before putting it away, see Replenishment by Pick & Put.
Prerequisites
The job's replenishment job type has Replenishment Flow set to Direct Put. See Create a Job Type for Replenishment.
The job is assigned to you, or is in the job pool.
Step-by-step
From the Home screen, open Replenishment and tap Direct Put.
On Replenishment Jobs, open Your Jobs or Job Pool, or scan or enter a job code.
Select the job.
For each task, scan or enter the fields the screen asks for:
Product task: the Source Location, the Product, the Quantity (plus lot, expiry or production date if the product tracks them) and the Target Location.
LP task: the Source Location, the LP and the Target Location. You aren't asked for lot or expiry date; they come from the LP.
Tap Put. The stock moves to the target location and the task is complete.
Repeat for the remaining tasks. When the job is done, a success message appears. Select another job or tap Go Home Page.
Example: A task moves 20 boxes of SKU-100 from R-05 to A-01. You scan R-05, scan SKU-100, enter 20, scan A-01 and tap Put. A-01 now holds the 20 boxes and the task is complete.
How Direct Put works
Target location
Matching the task: the target you scan must be the one on the task. If the task names a target LP and you scan one, it must match too.
Putting somewhere else: with Allow Scanning Another Put Location on the job type, you can scan a different target location and the task completes there.
Asking for a new target: with Allow Suggest Another on, tap Suggest Another Location. Static jobs offer another location with capacity for the same product and pack type; Dynamic jobs run the dynamic replenishment algorithm again, skipping locations already tried. If no different location is found, the target doesn't change.
Source and target must differ, and both must be in the job's warehouse.
Example: The task target is A-01, but a pallet is blocking it. With Allow Scanning Another Put Location on, you scan A-02 and the stock lands in A-02. With it off, scanning A-02 is rejected and you can only use Suggest Another Location (if allowed).
Quantity
Because Direct Put is a single pick, the job type's pick rules apply:
Picking more is allowed only with Allow Exceed Task Quantity on, up to Exceeding Percent % (rounded up).
Picking less: with Update Task Quantity If Less Picked on, the task completes with what you moved. With it off, the task completes with what you moved, and a new task is created for the rest when damaged or missing stock is reported or the source location doesn't have enough.
LP tasks move the whole LP in one go.
Example: The task is 10 units and Exceeding Percent % is 20. You can move up to 12 units; 13 is rejected. If you move 7 and Update Task Quantity If Less Picked is off, a new task for 3 units appears in the job.
Features you may see
Feature | What happens | Requires |
LP Swap | Scan a different LP of the same product at the same source location. If it's accepted, the screen switches between the full-LP layout and the pick-from-LP layout as needed. The Target Location never changes. If it's rejected, the reason is shown and your entries stay as they were, so you can scan another LP | Enable LP Swap on the job type. See Understanding LP Swap in Replenishment |
Pack type conversion | On a product task, a conversion chip (for example Case → Unit) appears next to the pack type. A blue info box below the task explains that inventory will convert to the UOM pack type when you confirm the put, and that the suggested location is based on the original higher pack type. On an LP task, the info box says the LP's higher pack type inventory converts to units and the units stay in the LP | Allow Higher Pack Type Conversion to UOM on the job type. See Converting Higher Pack Types to UOM During Replenishment |
Barcode parsing | Scanning a product barcode can fill product, lot, expiry date and production date in one scan. Anything the barcode doesn't provide is asked for as usual. Not used when you scan an LP | An active barcode template for the warehouse. See GS1 and Custom Barcode Parsing |
Auto Remove LP | If the target location you actually put into has Auto Remove LP After Replenishment on, the stock is stored there without an LP | Location setting. See Auto Remove LP After Replenishment |
Example (LP Swap): The task says take LP-100 from R-05, but LP-100 is behind another pallet. You scan LP-200, which holds the same product at R-05. The swap is accepted, the LP field updates to LP-200, the target A-01 stays the same, and you tap Put.
Example (conversion): A Dynamic task moves 24 six-packs to BB-2 with conversion on. You confirm the put; BB-2 receives 144 units. The task still shows 24 as the task quantity, with the to-pack type changed to units.
💡 Suggest Another Location is still offered on the Direct Put screen when conversion applies, but every suggestion is based on the original higher pack type. Conversion only happens when the task is completed, so you can't get a suggestion based on the unit quantity in Direct Put.
Common questions
Why isn't there a put phase? Direct Put completes the pick straight into the target location, so there is nothing left to put. Only Pick & Put jobs have a separate put phase.
Why wasn't I asked for lot or expiry date on an LP task? On LP direct put, those values come from the LP itself.
I scanned a different LP and got an error. What now? The message shows why the LP can't be used, for example it's in another location, belongs to another job, is a different product, is outside the date threshold, or is allocated to an order. Your entries are kept; scan another LP or the original one.
Can a job mix unit and case tasks for the same product? Yes. Each task runs on its own. With conversion on, only the higher pack type task is converted.
