Putaway algorithm actions are defined for target location suggestion if the condition for the inventory of the source location is met.

Various actions can be set under each algorithm to diverse target location suggestion, under different circumstances.

The putaway algorithm actions are described below:

Available Actions

Actions

Description

Check Assigned SKUs

Provides a target location for product putaway operation. Seeks a location that has a defined product capacity (for replenishment) of the same SKU as the transferred SKU.

Check Damaged Locations

Seeks for a target location where "Only Damaged Items" parameter is enabled

Check Location Capacity

Provides a target location for LP putaway operation. Seeks a location that has a defined LP capacity (for replenishment) of the same LP type as the transferred LP.

Check Product Group & Location Zone Match

Seeks for target location which has a location zone attribute matched with the product group of the transferred SKU.

Product group & location zone match can be defined in the Data Setup -> Location Zone section.

Check Same Client

Allows suggesting a target location for the transferred SKU where same client's inventory is present.

Check Same Damaged Reason

Seeks for a target location where an inventory is present with the same damage reason as the transferred inventory.

Check Same Expiry Date

Seeks for a target location where an inventory is present with the same expiry date as the transferred inventory.

Check Same Lot Batch Number

Seeks for a target location where an inventory is present with the same lot batch number as the transferred inventory.

Check Same Product Group

Provides a target location where inventory of the same product group as the transferred SKU is present

Check Same Product Type

Provides a target location where inventory of the same product group as the transferred SKU is present

Check Same Production Date

Seeks for a target location where an inventory is present with the same production date as the transferred inventory.

Check Same Receiving Date

Seeks for a target location where an inventory is present with the same receiving date as the transferred inventory.

Suggest a location that has inventory of the same SKU & same pack type

Allows algorithm to seek for a location that contains inventory of the same SKU & same pack type as the transferred inventory.

Suggest a location that has inventory of the selected product group

Set putaway algorithm to suggest a location that contains inventory of any SKU that belongs to the selected product group. (Product group selection required)

Suggest a location that has inventory of the selected product type

Set putaway algorithm to suggest a location that contains inventory of any SKU that belongs to the selected product type. (Product type selection required)

Suggest a location that has inventory of the selected pack type

Set putaway algorithm to suggest a location that contains inventory of any SKU that belongs to the selected pack type. (Pack type selection required)

Suggest a location that has same SKU

Seeks for a location where inventory of the same SKU is present.

Suggest a location where the allocation is prevented

Allows putaway algorithm to suggest a location where "Prevent Allocation" parameter is/is not enabled.

Suggest a location where the inventory sync to stores is prevented

Allows putaway algorithm to suggest a location where "Prevent Inventory Sync to Stores" parameter is/is not enabled.

Suggest a location with the entered aisle

Seeks for a target location with the entered aisle number

(Aisle number entry & comparator selection are required)

Suggest a location with the entered column

Seeks for a target location with the entered column number

(Column number entry & comparator selection are required)

Suggest a location with the entered height

Seeks for a target location with the entered height

(Height number entry & comparator selection are required)

Suggest a location with the entered length

Seeks for a target location with the entered length

(Length number entry & comparator selection are required)

Suggest a location with the entered level

Seeks for a target location with the entered level number

(Level number entry & comparator selection are required)

Suggest a location with the entered volume

Seeks for a target location with the entered volume

(Volume number entry & comparator selection are required)

Suggest a location with the entered width

Seeks for a target location with the entered width

(Width number entry & comparator selection are required)

Suggest a location with the selected ABC Code

Enabled algorithm to suggest a target location

Suggest a location with the selected area type

Set putaway algorithm to suggest a location assigned to the selected area type (Area type selection required)

Suggest a location with the selected location group

Set putaway algorithm to suggest a location assigned to the selected location group (Location group selection required)

Suggest a location with the selected location type

Set putaway algorithm to suggest a location assigned to the selected location type (Location type selection required)

Suggest a location with the selected location zone

Set putaway algorithm to suggest a location assigned to the selected location zone (Location zone selection required)

Suggest a location with the selected replenishment type

Suggests a location that is marked as the selected replenishment type (Source / Target)

Suggest an empty location

Algorithm suggests a location that does not contain any inventory

Suggest exactly the selected location

Set putaway algorithm to suggest the selected location.

By using comparators, it is possible to set algorithm to consider multiple locations.
