RF Put Away Overview

After you complete the receive verify process, put away products to update their availability, location, and quantity.

There are three ways to put away product:

System-directed put away – The system directs you to put away items as defined in the RF Put Away Methodcontrol maintenance record.
User-directed put away – You determine the put away sequence.
Immediate put away – You put away the item immediately upon receiving it without having to place it on or scan a tote.

For system-directed and user-directed put away, use a tote to put away the items to maximize efficiency. The system uses totes to lead you in the most efficient put away path.

Note: A tote could be a hand cart, pallet, or box you use to transport products to their warehouse location. It is a temporary location used to track and direct products that are in process.

During the put away process, the system verifies quantities. Handle any put away variances in the following ways:

Overages – Place as much product into stock locations as possible, and then place the remaining product into overstock locations.
Shortages – Backorder quantity if you are authorized. If you are not authorized, the system sends the put away task to the Warehouse In Process Status Queue. An authorized user can then handle the backordering.

In addition, assign serial numbers to serialized product upon locating it.
