Putaway tasks are automatically created and the store associates can use these tasks to complete this activity. To putaway products in a received shipment, complete the following steps:
  1. Log in to Sterling Store Engagement.
  2. From the application menu, select Inventory management.
  3. In the More Tasks portlet, click Putaway.
  4. View the putaway task in one of the following ways:
    • Click a count of the putaway tasks. A list of putaway tasks is displayed. Sort or filter the putaway tasks, if required.
    • Scan the shipment or carton number in the portlet.

    You can view the putaway task details such as the putaway type, source location, shipment number, receipt number, and the date on which the putaway task is created.

  5. Click Putaway.
  6. Scan the source location, followed by the serial or SKU of all the products in the shipment.
    Note: If location scan is not mandated, you can directly select items or serials without scanning the locations..
    • If something is damaged or there is an inventory shortage, click Record shortage, select a reason, and click Done.
    • If you want to pick all products together, click Pick all.
  7. Scan the destination location that is assigned by the system, followed by the serial or SKU of the products that you want to place in the destination.
    • If a default destination location is unavailable, click Select, scan the destination location, and click Done.
    • To place products of the same SKU in different locations, click Alternate location, scan a location, select a reason, and click Done.
    • If location scan is not mandated, you can select a location from the Locations list.
    • Scan all serial-tracked products. For non-serialized products, scan or manually update the quantity for the remaining units.

      The Manually update quantity while picking/depositing in Putaway resource permission must be enabled to manually update the quantity.
