Putaway Rules & Replenishment Strategies

Putaway Rules

Putaway rules determine where incoming goods are stored. Go to Inventory > Configuration > Putaway Rules.

Creating a Putaway Rule

1. Click Create.
2. Product - Restrict to a product (optional).
3. Product Category - Restrict to a category (optional).
4. From Location - Source location (typically WH/Input).
5. Destination Location - Where to store it.
6. Sequence - Lower sequence checked first. The first matching rule wins.
7. Storage Category - Optional capacity constraint.

Replenishment Strategies

When the replenishment engine runs, it uses the product's route to determine source:

• Buy - Create a purchase order (RFQ).
• Manufacture - Create a manufacturing order.
• Internal Transfer - Transfer from another warehouse or location.
• Cross-Dock - Directly transfer incoming goods to outgoing.

Storage Categories

Go to Inventory > Configuration > Storage Categories. Define capacity per location:

• Max weight, max volume, max pallets.
• Allowed product categories.
• Putaway strategy: FIFO, LIFO, FEFO (First Expiry/First Out), Closest.
