Putting Away Items

When you put away an item, you are moving the item from a staging location to a storage location.

If you activate the Tally Scanning rule, you can scan item bar codes to enter each quantity that you want to put away. You can tally scan a bar code for the item, item alias, or UPC. For numbered items, you can tally scan a bar code for a lot or serial number. If you also activate the Advanced Bar Code rule, you can tally scan an item bar code in the supported GS1 formats. You can scan a numbered item’s GS1 bar code that contains the lot or serial number. For more information, see System Rules for NetSuite WMS.
