Sug. Putaway and Replenishment (WH81)

Additional Information
Whse Relocate Stock (WH30)
Maintain Inventory Master (IM13/Warehouse)

The Suggested Putaway and Replenishment (WH81) program allows you to print two reports that can aid you in determining the bins the product should be relocated to using the Whse Relocate Stock (WH30) program.

The following section describes the two reports available through WH81:

  1. Suggested Putaway Report - lists products received through the Enter Receipts/In-Transits (PO60) and Receive In-Transit to Stock (PO63) programs that that were received into the 'General' receiving bin as well as product received in through a credit note in the Enter Inv/Direct/Bills/Credits (IN41) program.

    Once the acceptance codes are entered, the reported records are transferred to WH30 for confirmation.

    The Suggested Putaway Report includes the following information:

    • From Bin/Loc – displays the original Bin Location into which the product was received.
    • Bin Type – displays the Bin Type of the original bin location.
    • Product – displays the Product code.
    • Description – displays the Description of the product.
    • Qty to move - displays the quantity that was received and can be moved to another bin location.
    • To Bin/Loc – displays the suggested put away Bin Location in which to relocate the product. Note: If there is no suggested put away bin, the product can be located in any existing bin.
    • Type – displays the Type of the suggested put away bin location.

  2. Replenishment Report - lists products that can be relocated from one bin to accommodate existing back orders. Data for the report will only be produced if the 'Bin/Location Replenishment' fields are populated in Maintain Inventory Master (IM13/Warehouse). The data reported is a result of comparing the current inventory levels for the product in each bin to the 'Replenishment Point' and 'Pick Area Max. Qty' fields in IM13/Warehouse.

    If the product Bin/Loc available quantity is over the replenishment point, the product is not reported on WH81. If the product Bin/Loc available quantity is below the replenishment point, the product is reported to transfer inventory from a Bulk Bin/Loc to a Prime Bin/Loc for the quantity needed to reach the replenishment maximum.

    If the product is lot controlled, WH81 first verifies that the same lot exists in a Bulk location as well as in the Primary location.

    Once the acceptance codes are entered in WH81, the reported records are transferred to WH30 for confirmation.

    The Replenishment report includes the following information:

    • From Bin/Loc – displays the Bin Location from which the product can currently be relocated.
    • Bin Type – displays the Bin Type of the original bin location.
    • Product – displays the Product code.
    • Description – displays the Description of the product.
    • Qty to move cases/skus - displays the quantity that can be moved to the 'To Bin/Loc'. The quantity for the Cases is based on the quantity entered in the '# Pcs/Selling Unit' field in IM13/Stock. For example, if there is a quantity of 40 in the Bulk bin and the # Pcs/Selling Unit is 15, the program divides the total quantity of 40 by 15. The result in this case is 2.66. Only whole units can be relocated, therefore, a quantity of 2 is displayed as the number cases that can be relocated. These 2 cases represent a quantity of 30 units. This leaves 10 units (the original quantity of 40 less the 30 from the 2 cases) and as a result, the report displays a quantity of 10 sku's that can be relocated.
    • To Bin/Loc – displays the suggested put away Bin Location to relocate the product to.
    • Type – displays the Type of the suggested put away bin location.
