Performing multiple-item putaways
These two types of putaway are available to consolidate multiple items onto a license plate during receiving and put away:
- Mixed License Plate Putaway involves receiving multiple items on the same license plate and using putaway to store the entire mixed pallet.
- Rainbow pallet putaway involves placing multiple items on the same pallet during receipt to make moving the product from the receipt location to various storage locations by item.
In some operations pallet IDs when received with multiple items and are going to be stored as such without breaking out each individual item onto a separate pallet ID. Since these items are going to be stored together, all items should be putaway with a single pallet movement. In some operations, the pallet may be built during receiving. It is also possible for the license plate and associated items to be received using a single scan receipt if all details are identified on the ASN prior to receiving.
