Inbound receiving staging location

When orders are large and arrive in rapid succession, you can off-load them and stage the received pallets on the dock floor until you can process them. To use this function, the items must be on a pallet on the dock they were received at.

The TWL Configuration-Location master record contains a field that determines a stage location is an inbound location. To access this field, select Stage as the location type.

To putaway the receipts directly from the inbound staging location, then specify Dock in the first four positions of the location name. When Dock is added to the location name, that dock shows in the putaway list. For example, naming the inbound location DOCKSTG enables you perform putaway tasks directly from that location.
