What is a putaway strategy?
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
A good warehouse implementation takes care that products automatically
|
|
move to their appropriate destination location. Putaway is the process
|
|
of taking products off the receiving shipment and putting them into the
|
|
most appropriate location.
|
|
|
|
If for instance a warehouse contains volatile substances, it is
|
|
important to make sure that certain products are not stored close to
|
|
each other because of a potential chemical reaction.
|
|
|
|
A putaway strategy follows the same principle as removal strategies but
|
|
affects the destination location. Putaway strategies are defined at
|
|
the location level (unlike removal strategies which are defined at the
|
|
product level).
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Go to :menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Settings` and check option
|
|
**Manage several location per warehouse & Advance routing of products using
|
|
rules**, then click on **Apply**.

Setting up a strategy
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Let's take as an example a retail shop where we store vegetables and
|
|
fruits.
|
|
|
|
We have to store this type of product in different locations to maintain
|
|
product quality.
|
|
|
|
Suppose there is one warehouse location **WH/Stock** and there is
|
|
sub location **WH/Stock/Vegetables** & **WH/Stock/Fruits**.
|
|
|
|
You can create a putaway strategy from
|
|
:menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Locations`.
|
|
Open any location where you want to set a putaway strategy,
|
|
click on **Edit** and locate the option **Put Away Strategy**.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Open the roll-down menu and click on **Create and Edit**. This will open a
|
|
form view of put away strategy on which you have to set a name for the
|
|
strategy, and set the method and fixed location for each category.
|
|

|
|
|
|
When you have entered all the necessary information, click on **Save**.
|
|
|
|
Now, when you purchase products with those categories, they will
|
|
automatically be transferred to the correct location.
|
|
|
|
To check current inventory, Go to
|
|
:menuselection:`Inventory --> Inventory Control --> Current Inventory`
|
|
|
|
There you can see current inventory by location.
