Inbound Sorting Operations

Inbound Sorting After Receipt

The Inbound Sorting functionality will provide the ability to sort inventory received to facilitate putaway using a pallet with multiple SKUs going to different locations. Inventory will be sorted/grouped based on the specified sorting criteria for a sorting zone. Multiple sorting zones can be configured with different criteria.

Inbound sorting will first call the directed putaway logic to find the destination location of an LPN. Then the sorting process will be done based on the destination location. For each sorting zones pallets will be created based on the specified criteria.

For example: If a sorting zone's criteria is the destination area, then LPNs will be sorted by Pallets depending on their destination location area based on putaway.
