Storing received goods in their designated bin locations.

Storing received goods in their designated bin locations.

Putaway is the process of moving items from the receiving area to their assigned storage locations within the warehouse. A WMS typically guides this based on product type, size, demand, or proximity to pick zones. Efficient putaway improves space utilisation and reduces pick times. For example, after receiving a shipment of 500 units, the system may direct staff to split the stock between bulk storage bins and forward pick locations based on expected order volume.
