Configuring putaway inventory

Edit online

To configure putaway inventory, enable appropriate resource permissions and set up bar code types, locations, and exception reason codes.

Applications Manager

  • Resource permissions
    Enable the following resource permissions:
    • Execute Putaway - ISF000005
    • Manually update quantity while picking or depositing in putaway - ISF000009
    • Pick all the products without scanning - ISF000023
    • Deposit all the products without scanning - ISF000082
    For more information, see Administering user group permissions.
  • Bar code types

    Configure the following bar code types for your store's enterprise:

    • Store Scan Item or Location: This bar code type is used to scan locations and products while executing move requests. The bar code validation sources are: SIM location, SIM Serial and Item.
    • Location: This bar code type is used to scan an alternate location when a destination location is unavailable. The bar code validation source is SIM location.
    • Serial Scan: This bar code type is used to scan the serial number to remove a product picked using that serial number. The bar code validation source is SIM serial.
    • Store Putaway: This bar code type is used to scan shipment and carton number in the putaway portlet. The bar code validation sources are as follows:
      • External Service with Validation service as YCD_Translate_BarCode_InboundShipment
      • Inbound Shipment Carton SCM
    By default, bar code types are provided for the Default organization. When you set up a new enterprise, these bar code types must be created again or copied from the Default organization. For more information, see Configuring bar codes.

Store Inventory Management APIs

  • locations API

    Since DOCK-LOCATION is assumed to be receiving location in the application, all putaway tasks have source location as DOCK-LOCATION.

    Location scan is not yet supported for the putaway inventory flow.

  • exception-codes API

    Create the exception reason codes by using the exception-codes API to record shortage and to choose an alternate location..

  • stores-rule API

    Configure whether location scanning is mandatory or not by setting the IS_LOC_SCAN_MANDATORY to Y or N in the stores-rule API. The default value is Y.
