When your location is set up to require put-away processing but not receive processing, you will use the Inventory Put-away document to organize and record your put-away activity.

You have three options for creating an inventory put-away:

Each of these three methods is described below.

To request an inventory put-away by releasing the source document

  1. In the case of purchase orders, sales return orders, and inbound transfer orders, you create the warehouse request by releasing the order.

  2. In the Search box, enter the order document type, such as Purchase Orders, and choose the related link. Open the order you want to release.

  3. On the Actions tab, in the Release group, choose Release.

  4. In the case of production orders, you create the warehouse request by creating an inbound request from the released production order.

    1. In the Search box, enter Production Orders, and then select the related link.

    2. On the Actions tab, in the Warehouse group, choose Create Inbound Whse. Request.

Note
You can also create the inbound warehouse request by selecting the Create Inbound Request check box when you refresh the production order. For more information, see How to: Refresh Production Orders.

When the warehouse request is created, someone working in the warehouse creating put-aways can see that the source document is ready and can create an inventory put-away document.

To create an inventory put-away based on the source document

  1. In the Search box, enter Inventory Put-away, and then select the related link.

  2. On the Home tab, in the New group, choose New.

  3. In the Source Document field, select the type of source document you are putting away from.

  4. In the Source No. field, select the source document.

To create an inventory put-away from the source document
