How Do I Put Away Products via Groups?

Product Group Assignment and Putaway

This guide explains how to effectively receive and put away products in Clarus WMS based on their assigned groups, such as ""Frozen"" or ""Chilled,"" ensuring they go into their correct storage locations automatically.



Step-by-Step Guide

1. Create or Assign Products to Groups

Create Product Groups: If you need new categories like 'Frozen' or 'Chilled', set up these product groups. If they already exist, you can skip this step.

Add Products to the Groups: Either add existing products to the correct groups or assign a group when you create new products.

2. Create a Receipt

Create a New Receipt: Make a new receipt for the products you are receiving. For example, you might receive 10 storage units, each with 10 items for both Frozen and Chilled products.

Input Stock Quantities: Enter how many items of each product you are receiving. Once all amounts are entered, finish the receipt.

3. Complete Receive Tasks

Receive the Products: Complete the receiving tasks as you normally would. The stock should arrive in your Goods In bay, if you have one set up.

AlertREMEMBER: Having a Goods In bay is not mandatory but can make the receiving process more organised.

4. Put Away Stock to Grouped Locations

Check ""Location To"" Field: The ""Location To"" field should automatically show the correct storage location based on the product's group (e.g., Frozen or Chilled storage area).

Edit Location if Necessary: If the wrong location appears, use the dropdown menu to select the correct one by typing its code.

Put Away the Stock: Once the correct location is displayed, finish the putaway task. The stock will then be listed under the right location codes for each group.



FAQs

What are product groups used for?

Product groups help you sort products into categories (like Frozen or Chilled) and send them to specific storage locations, which makes organisation much simpler.

How do I assign a product to a group?

You can assign a product to a group when you first create it, or you can go back and edit the product's details later to add it to a group.

What if the ""Location To"" field is incorrect?

You can manually pick the right location from a list by entering its code.

Do I need a Goods In bay to receive products?

No, it's not essential, but using a Goods In bay can help make your receiving process more structured.

Can I put away products without using groups?

Yes, you can, but using groups means products are sent to their correct storage locations automatically, which makes the whole process more efficient.
