Inventory Part/Putaway Zones

[About Inventory Putaway] [To Maintain Inventory]

Usage

Use this window to define putaway zones for inventory parts. They can be entered for normal as well as pallet handled parts. A putaway zone defines an area within a site that has a defined ranking and is entered using the levels in the warehouse navigator. The maximum number of bins used per part can also be defined.

Note that putaway zones can be defined in a more flexible way by using, for example, % and ; to define a zone that contains, for example, a number of bays. This can be convenient when there is a need to use the maximum number of bins for a part over a greater area than, for example, just one bay.

The setup of putaway zones is shown and defined in two different tabs:

In the Operative Values tab, you can view information about putaway zones that will be used for this part. This is a summarized view of putaway zones defined on a group level as well as for the specific inventory part.

In the Inventory Part Values tab, you can enter putaway zones that are specific for the current inventory part. These zones together with zones from the putaway zone part groups will be shown in the Operative Values tab to give the full picture.
