Understanding Putaways
This document provides an summary of how putaways work in Zoho ERP.
What is Putaway?
Putaway refers to the process of transferring received goods from the Receiving Area to their assigned storage bins within the warehouse. Once items are recorded through transactions such as purchase receipts, transfer orders, or sales returns, a putaway can be created to allocate and organize them into appropriate bin locations for proper storage and tracking.
Benefits
Here are the key benefits of using putaways:
- Ensures items are stored in the correct bins, maintaining precise bin-level tracking.
- Helps keep the warehouse structured and clutter-free by assigning designated storage locations.
- Properly stored items are easier to locate, reducing picking time and improving operational efficiency.
