Putaway Priorities

Putaway Priorities determine the order in which Putaway Types are triggered for putaway.

  1. Go to the “Putaway Priorities” screen and click “Create”.
  2. Fill out the following information to create a new Putaway Priority.

    Configuring a new Putaway Priority
    1. Putaway Type: The putaway type that will be used for the priority.
    2. Priority: Determines the order of the putaway priority.
    3. Location Type: The Location Type that is used in the logic – Reserve/Active.
    4. Location Size Type: The Location Size Type that will pair with the previously selected Putaway Type.
    5. Replenishment Zone: Only applies to active locations. This field defines the active location’s replenishment zone.
    6. Putaway Method: The putaway method used: by Location Sequence or Radial.
    7. Radius: If “Radial” is selected for the Putaway Method, this field is required. It defines the radius of locations that will be used during the putaway logic process.
    8. Radial Incr: If “Radial” is selected for the Putaway Method, this field is required. It defines the increment radius value in which WMS will look for locations during putaway.
    9. Consider FEFO flg: If checked WM will consider the expiration date when determining a location to putaway the inventory.
    10. Putaway Search Mode: This defines how WM will determine a location for putaway.

        Sample Putaway Priority Config

        The above configuration translates to the following:

        When an IBLPN of Putaway Type “ELECTRONICS” is scanned for putaway, WMS will look for all locations that have Location Size Type “ELECTRONICS” to putaway to. Out of these eligible locations, WMS will look for the location with the least amount of LPNs (“Most Empty by LPNs”). At the same time, these locations will ordered based on its “putaway sequence” value. If the locations have a max weight greater than zero, the system will validate the location weight with the IBLPN weight .
