If we observe the above image, loose products ( without HUs ) stored in the lower level, carton boxes stored
at the middle level, and Pallets stored at top level.]

It means the system able to identify suitable storage bins with reference to product packaging attributes (
without HUs ‘or’ with reference to di erent HU types ).

To achieve this it is required to activate ‘ HU Type Check ” at the storage type level under the putaway
control area.

The HU type check and the storage bin type check are only performed if activated the attribute HU Type
Check for the storage type.

Process ow for validating putaway process

Create inbound delivery and items pack into di erent packaging materials ( which are assigned to di erent
HU Types in EWM ).

Out of three line items, two are packed in two di erent packaging materials and HUs are built.

As per the decentralized WMS parameters shipping noti cation distributed to EWM.

Check the inbound delivery in EWM system

Create warehouse tasks

The system creates three WTs, one is product WT and two are HU WTs

1. Product warehouse task

Here system performed HU type check and HU type is initial ( HU type is ‘ ‘ ( blank ) and assigns to Bin type
‘ BT01 ‘

2. HU warehouse task for carton box ( HU Type: CABX )

Here system performed HU type check and HU type ‘ CABX ‘ and assigns to Bin type ‘ BT02 ‘

3. HU warehouse task for carton box ( HU Type: PALT)

Here system performed HU type check and HU type ‘ PALT ‘ and assigns to Bin type ‘ BT03 ‘

Conclusion: We can perform the HU type check during putaway with maintaining ‘blank ‘ value also against
required storage bin types also.

Highly appreciate for valuable comments and suggestions.
