How To : Quality Management Bin for Put-away
When using put-away templates in a directed warehouse, put items in a Quality Management QC bin before moving them to a storage or picking bin in the warehouse.
This scenario creates an extra step in the receiving process:
- From receiving to QC.
- From QC to storage.
Setup
Put-away template
A Put-away Template is used when, on the Location card, the warehouse setting Directed Put-away and Pick is on. Select the template on the Bin Policies tab, Put-away Template Code field.
A new column is available on the Put-away Template: Find QC Zone Bin. Because the Put-away Template lines are processed top-down, make sure that column is selected in the first line(s) of the template.
For example:
| Find Fixed Bin | Find Floating Bin | Find Same Item | Find Unit of Measure Match | Find Bin w. less than Min. Qty | Find Empty Bin | Find QC Zone Bin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| V | V | V | ||||
| V | V | |||||
| V | V | V | V |
Zone
From the Location card, select Zones to create a Quality Management Zone. The Bin Type Code must be PUTAWAY for this zone, as the put-away process must be able to find it.
Bin
From the Zones card, select Bins to create bins for the new zone. Make sure to check the QC Bin column.
QM Subscriber
A specific QM subscriber is available: 7319 Posted Whse. Receipt Line: QM-QC bin Put-away. Select this in QM Subscribers to create an incident when the warehouse put-away is created.
With this subscriber, the program checks the Put-away Template for a Find QC Zone Bin. When no QM incident is created, the program ignores Find QC Zone Bin.
Move material from the QM-QC bin to its final location
Once material is inspected and either Accepted or Rejected, move it out of the QM-QC bin to its final destination in the warehouse.
Do this with the Movement Worksheet. These worksheets are per warehouse. Use the Get Bin Content action in the worksheet list to show items per zone or per bin.
Select the lines that are ready to be moved and select the destination zone and bin. When complete, use the Create Movement action to create a warehouse movement with which warehouse employees can be instructed to move the items.
