Putaway

Putaway is the process of moving material from a receiving area into a storage area when
material is received and putaway is initiated for the received material, the rules engine suggests
an optimal putaway location for he material. If you are using advanced task framework, the
system also determines an operation plan to move the material to the final putaway location.
Each time you putaway the material, it progresses further along the operation plan and comes
closer the final putaway location. Putaway consists of the following two operations:

 Putaway Load: Material is retrieved from a source location.

 Putaway Drop: Material is deposited into a destination location.

you have multiple options to perform putaway load and drop. These options facilitate pack,
unpack and split of material from the LPN during putaway. The following table displays the
putaway load and drop options.

Putaway

Inbound Operation Mode

Operation

Putaway Load Transfer Contents into an The contents of he LPN are transferred to an Into LPN during
LPN

Putaway Load Select Contents into an This option allows selective transfer of contents from an LPN
LPN during the putaway process

Putaway Load Load full LPN into an LPN The entire LPN is selected for putaway.

Putaway Load Load full LPN for putaway

You can use the form function parameters to enable one or more of these options. You can
create a user defined menu option which allows or restricts some of these putaway modes.
There are also multiple options available for the putaway drop transaction.

Inbound Operation Mode

Operation

Putaway Drop Transfer contents into an The contents of the LPN are transferred to an Into LPN during p
LPN material is deposited at the putaway location.

Putaway Drop Select Contents into an This options allows selective transfer of LPN contents to an Into
LPN Based Putaway.

Putaway Drop Drop full LPN into LPN This options allows nesting of an LPN to an Into LPN during put
drop process.

Putaway Drop Drop full LPN The entire LPN is dropped at the putaway location.
In addition, you can configure the putaway drop transaction to allows system directed drop or
manual drop. Consequently, the destination location during putaway can be directed by the
system or you.

Directed Drop
In a system directed putaway Oracle Warehouse Management suggests an optimal putaway
location for the material. During the putaway process you confirm material attributes such as
quantity, UOM, putaway location, and lot as applicable. System directed putaway may stop split
LPNs if the items are mixed or if the locators have capacity constraints. However if the system
suggests you putaway an entire LPN in the same place, it does not prompt you to enter the item
or quantity.

Manual Drop
Use directed putaway allows you to put away an entire LPN in a single scan. Select User Dropon
the putaway window to initiate user directed putaway. Optionally, the rules engine validate the
locator you select to ensure the restrictions are met even if the locator is not optimal. You can
also setup rules to suggest the initial locator, as long as you can put away the entire LPN. In
addition, you can disable User Dropif it is not required
