Call Putaway from Receiving

In order to simplify the process of receiving and moving LPNs/Pallets directly to their location as soon as the inventory is received, you have the following options in Receive by Shipment and Receive by Load).

Directed Putaway from RF Receive by Shipment / RF Receive by Load

An existing screen parameter "next-screen-to-launch", available in the RF Receive by shipment (rf.inbound.cwrfrecvlpnshpmt)/ and RF Receive by Load (rf.inbound.cwrfrecvlpnload) module is now extended to call directed putaway when you receive an LPN/Pallet during Receiving transaction.

The following table lists the conditions in which Directed Putaway during Receiving is supported:

Receive LPN/ Pallet by Shipment or by Load	Supports Directed Putaway During Receiving
Cartonize and Non- Cartonize LPN (Single/ Multi SKU)	Yes
LPN with Flow-Through Successful	Yes
LPN as Physical Pallet	Yes
LPN or Pallet receiving	Yes
Palletize Up Front	Yes
Received LPN is subjected to successful Xdock	No
Received LPN is subjected to QC.	No
Received LPN is subjected to VAS.	No
When receiving mode is set to Palletize after receipt	No
Received LPN having Lock code (if Prevent putaway flag enabled)	No

When an LPN/Pallet/LPN as Pallet is received during Cartonize or Non-cartonized Shipment, the system displays the putaway location confirmation screen based on the Putaway method priority associated with the putaway type available on the LPN received. On completing the Putaway transaction, the system navigates back to the receiving screen.

If the received LPN has a successful flow through, then the system performs Putaway of respective LPN.

Note: If the received LPN/Pallet fails to Putaway, then the system prompts for a drop location if the screen "prompt-location" is not set to "Do not prompt" in the receiving screen.

If the configured Putaway screen is invalid or unavailable, then the system displays an error message "Cannot call next screen. Screen configured % screen name % is not valid".

Directed Putaway for Upfront Palletization from Receive by Shipment/Receive by Load

After performing Upfront palletization, and users receive LPN’s with respect to Pallet and on ending the Pallet (CTRL+E), the system displays the Putaway screen (Putaway location confirmation) configured in the Receiving transaction.

Note: When you end the pallet (CTRL+E), the system displays a confirmation message. Upon accepting, the Putaway location is prompted. After completion of Putaway, the screen navigates back to the Receiving screen.

An error "Cannot call next screen. Screen configured % screen name % is not valid" message is displayed when calling putaway fails due to invalid screen during END Pallet.

Calling Distribute LPN from Putaway

You can scan LPNs after receipt in the Putaway transaction (when configured to call distribution.) The system will first try to allocate the LPN for Xdock or flow through allocations and if unsuccessful, then the system falls back to Location determination logic.

When the system invokes Distribute LPN (rf.outbound.cwrfdistributelpn) from RF Directed Putaway (rf.inbound.cwrfputaway),if there are no eligible orders (for Xdock and flow-through) for distribution, the system will automatically proceed with putaway for the respective LPN.

Note: After the system performs putaway against the scanned LPN, the system will display a message for you to confirm that you want to proceed with the putaway. If the distribution allocation fails for any reason, the system will display a message and then proceed with the putaway.

Perform Distribute LPN for Allocated LPNs on a Pallet from Putaway

To help users move allocated LPNs from pallets for packing, the system allows you to perform Distribute LPN for allocated LPNs present on the pallet when you scan a pallet in the RF Directed Putaway transaction.

As long as RF Directed Putaway is configured with the Distribute LPN transaction:

The system performs Putaway of a Pallet when all the LPN's on the pallet are not in allocated status by displaying the message "LPN's on the pallet are not allocated proceeding with Putaway".

When all the LPNs on the pallet are in allocated status, the system performs distribute LPN for all the LPN's present on the pallet:

When there are multiple LPNs on the pallet in allocated status, the system prompts for each allocated LPN (In descending order of each LPN’s last modified time) for performing distribution.

Note: It's not advised to modify LPNs after allocation as this may impact the sequence of LPNs getting prompted for distribution.

The system prompts for the LPN, then on confirming, the system proceeds with the message to perform Depalletize and distribute the LPN.

You can invoke Putaway transactions from RF Receiving and locate the inventory to the respective destination, if the putaway type is defined on the LPN/Pallet. This functionality is made available when performing the RF Receive by Shipment (rf.inbound.cwrfrecvlpnshpmt) /RF Receive by Load (rf.inbound.cwrfrecvlpnload) transaction.
