Setup

The Put-Away activity can be configured for a particular mobile profile by entering PUTAWAY in the Page field on the Mobile Profile Setup page.

Fill in the fields as follows:

• Allow Register: Indicate whether mobile users will have the ability to register warehouse put-aways directly from a handheld device. If this option is not enabled, registering must be recorded through the Business Central client.
• Input Qty. to Handle: Indicate whether mobile users will have the ability to enter the specific quantity of an item that will be handled as part of a put-away activity. For example, if we enabled this option and wished to record a put-away activity for 50 units of an item, we could enter a quantity to handle of 50 units. If this option is not enabled, the quantity to handle will always default to 1 unit of the item. This is useful when a company wishes to ensure that every unit of an item is recorded as part of the put-away process. Using our previous example, not enabling this option would result in a default quantity of 1 unit, requiring that each of the 50 units be recorded as part of the put-away activity.
• Scan both Take and Place Bins: Indicate whether mobile users will be required to complete both the take and place components of put-away activities. When a put-away is created in Business Central, each item appears on two document lines – a “take” line in which the removal of the item from the receiving bin is recorded, and a “place” line in which the placement of the item into a new storage bin is recorded. If this option is set to Yes, put-aways will be completed through the Planned Move activity, rather than the Put-Away activity. In many environments, it is not necessary to record both take and place activities separately, and this requirement ultimately represents a redundant step. In such a scenario, the take and place setting can be set to No, in which case the Put-Away activity will be used, and entered activity for an item will instruct the application to update both the associated take and place lines.
• Accumulate Qty.: Indicate whether the recording of multiple put-away quantities against the same document line will be cumulative. If this option is enabled, a put-away quantity will continue to increase with each activity. For example, if we recorded a put-away quantity of 2 units against a document line, then recorded a second put-away quantity of 3 units against the same line, the total quantity to put-away would be 5 units. If this option is not enabled, the last recorded quantity will be interpreted as the quantity to put-away. Using our previous scenario, recording first a quantity of 2 units and then a quantity of 3 units would result in a total quantity to put-away of 3 units. Please note that when the setting in the Input Qty. to Handle field is set to No, it is recommended that this feature be enabled, since a direction to not accumulate entered quantities would result in the quantity to handle for all activities being set to 1 unit.
• Confirm Different Bin: Indicate whether you want users to verify that an entered bin code is correct when they differ from the bin code on the warehouse put-away.
• Require Qty. Confirmation: When the setting in the Input Qty. to Handle field is set to No, the quantity to handle for an item being processed as part of a put-away activity will default to a value of 1 unit. If the require quantity confirmation option is enabled, mobile users must confirm this entry of 1 unit before it will be recorded as being put-away. If this option is not enabled, the put-away activity will be automatically recorded with the entry of the relevant item number. If the setting in the Input Qty. to Handle field is set to Yes, mobile users will always have the ability to enter the handled quantity, and the require quantity confirmation setting will be ignored.
