ANY Process Demo: Inventory Put-Away

Overall process flow

The Inventory Put-Away process supports the goods receipt and put-away process in the warehouse based on an inventory put-away document generated in advance in Microsoft Dynamics BC. After selecting an Inventory Put-Away document, enter the item code for each line in the document. Next, if the item is tracked, enter the Lot and/or serial number. In the case of a serial number, that is the last step for a line. Optionally, depending on the location setup, enter a bin. Lastly, enter the quantity to handle. If the quantity to handle is less than the expected quantity to put away, the line is split, creating a new line with the quantity equal to the original outstanding quantity minus the quantity put away. Finally, the put-away document is posted, which is reflected on the source document.

Steps

Make sure you have already set up the prerequisites for this process.

1. Select the Inventory Put-Away menu button.

   

2. The next page appears. Enter the Inventory Put-Away number that was created, or use F6=Lookup to select it from a list. Press F4=OK to confirm.

   

3. Scan items in this step. Enter an item number or use F6=Lookup to select items from a list. Confirm again with F4=OK.

   

4. If an item is scanned that is not related to the put-away, an error message appears.

   

5. Enter a bin code where the items will be stored. The suggested bin comes from the put-away line. Use F6=Lookup to view a list of bins. Continue by pressing F4=OK.

   

6. Enter the quantity to handle (for example, four, make sure it is less than the outstanding quantity) and press F4=OK.

   

7. By pressing OK, the system updates the Inventory Put-Away line in Microsoft Dynamics BC. There are now two lines for item 70010.

   *To see the result in BC, go to the Inventory Put-away:

   • The first line shows the Bin Code and Qty. To Handle populated, with the Quantity changed from 10 to four.
   • The second line has all data copied from the first line, but the Qty. To Handle is reset to 0 and the Quantity is filled with the original quantity minus the Qty. to Handle of the first line.

   What actually happens is the execution of the Split Line function in the mobile process while updating the Qty. to Handle of the Put-Away document line.

   

8. The process returns to the Item No. step. Press F6=Lookup to view the lines. Notice the first handled line is not visible, fully handled lines are hidden. Select the second line with the Lot-tracked item. Confirm with F4=OK.

   

9. The next step asks for a Lot Number. Enter a new lot number and continue with F4=OK.

   

10. Confirm the suggested bin code with F4=OK to go to the next step, or select a bin code from the list with F6=Lookup.

    

11. Enter the quantity to handle in this step. Enter a quantity that is less than the Quantity outstanding (for example, five). Confirm with F4=OK.

    

12. After confirming, the process returns to the Scan Item activity. Enter or select the third item.

    

13. The last item is serial number tracked, so a separate line exists for each item. Enter a serial number and continue with F4=OK.

    

14. Enter the bin code in the following step, or select one from a list. Confirm again with F4=OK.

    

15. No quantity to handle is requested because it is fixed at one for serial tracked items. The system updates the put-away in Microsoft Dynamics BC.

    In BC, note that the line with item 80216-T has also been split. The Quantity to Handle and tracking details are also updated.

    

16. The process returns to the Enter Item activity. Press F7=Post to schedule the inventory put-away to be posted via the job queue.

    

17. The process returns to the first step, while in the background the put-away is being posted.

    

    *To see the result in BC, go to Warehouse > Planning & Operations > Posted Documents > Posted Invt. Put-Away and open the last document in the list.
