ANY Process Demo: WMS Put Away

Overall Process Flow

Overall Process Flow

The WMS Put-away process supports the put-away process in the warehouse based on a WMS Put-away document generated beforehand in Business Central from a Warehouse Receipt document.

After the selection of a WMS Put-away document the item code is entered for each item to receive. Optionally, depending on the location setup, a bin has to be put in.

Next, the quantity to put-away is entered. This quantity is added to the already handled quantity and then compared with the ordered quantity. If the quantity to put-away plus the handled quantity plus the outstanding quantity exceeds the ordered quantity, an error message will be displayed.

After accepting the input quantity, the put-away document line is updated. When the quantity to put-away plus the handled quantity is less then outstanding quantity the original put-away document line is split and an extra line is created with a quantity equal to the original outstanding quantity minus the quantity putaway. Finally, the put-away document is registered.

In case the Warehouse Receipt lot numbers are registered, the lot number is processed all the way through the put-away process. So, processing put-aways with lot numbers is supported by this pre-configured process.
