Feature Description

The GRN PutAway feature marks the final stage in the inbound inventory process, where received goods are systematically placed into their designated storage locations (bins) within the warehouse. Once a GRN is created against an incoming Purchase Order, it serves as confirmation that the items have been received, checked, and are ready to be stored.

Putaway can be done using both web and android devices. In this article, we will discuss how to use putaway feature using android device.

Use Case

Scenario:
An e-commerce seller has placed a bulk purchase order for 500 units of wireless earbuds from a supplier. The shipment arrives at the warehouse and needs to be systematically received and stored.

How the GRN Put-Away Feature Helps:

Goods Received:
The warehouse team unloads the items and verifies the shipment against the Purchase Order. A GRN (Goods Receipt Note) is generated in the system to acknowledge successful receipt.
Inventory Inspection:
Items are checked for damage, quantity, and compliance. Only accepted items are cleared for storage.
Put-Away Triggered:
Upon GRN confirmation, the Put-Away process is initiated. The system suggests optimal bin locations based on SKU, product category, and available bin space.
Bin Allocation & Placement:
Warehouse staff use handheld devices or terminals to locate suggested bins and scan items into those locations, updating the system in real-time.
Inventory Sync:
Stock levels are updated across all channels—such as the seller's website, Amazon, Flipkart, or any other connected marketplaces—ensuring immediate product availability for sale.
