Highlights
00:59 — Jason creates a warehouse location in Elmira, New York, and turns on a few features:
- Bin Mandatory
- Require Put-away
- Require Pick
If you navigate to Bin Policies > Put-away, the default is “Default Bin.” Instead, users should select “Put-away template.” Specify the template, and turn on the “Always create put-away line” feature.
02:07 — Next, Jason reviews the standard Put-away template that comes in Business Central and explains how it works. He notes that the criteria should be listed from most restrictive to least restrictive.
04:21 — For the Elmira warehouse, Jason has three items and notes the Bin Locations and Bin Codes. He reviews the maximum and minimum quantities of each bin.
07:25 — Jason demonstrates how to do a Put-away. He pulls up a purchase order from Wide World Importers which has all three warehouse items in it, with a quantity of 20. He generates the Put-away one of the three items and notes what the system has done.
08:35 — Jason reviews the Put-away that was created and describes why each inventory item when into its respective Bin.
