# Inventory Put-away - Process

## Process flow

The Inventory Put-Away process supports the goods receipt and put-away process in the warehouse based on an inventory put-away document generated in advance in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. After selecting an Inventory Put-Away document, enter the item code for each line in the document. Next, if the item is tracked, enter the Lot and/or serial number. In the case of a serial number, that is the last step for a line. Optionally, depending on the location setup, enter a bin. Lastly, enter the quantity to handle. If the quantity to handle is less than the expected quantity to put away, the line is split, creating a new line with the quantity equal to the original outstanding quantity minus the quantity put away. Finally, the put-away document is posted, which is reflected on the source document.

## **Steps**

> [!NOTE]
> Make sure you have already set up the [prerequisites](/business-central/docs/bc-inventory-put-away-prerequisites) for this process.

1. Select the **Inventory Put-Away** menu button.

![InvtPutawayStep8](https://bcdocs.staedean.com/md/en-US/DemoProcesses/Images/ANY_InvtPutAwayStep8.png)
2. The next page appears. Enter the Inventory Put-Away number that was created, or use **F6=Lookup** to select it from a list. Press **F4=OK** to confirm.

![InvtPutawayStep9](https://bcdocs.staedean.com/md/en-US/DemoProcesses/Images/ANY_InvtputawayStep9.png)
3. Scan items in this step. Enter an item number or use **F6=Lookup** to select items from a list. Confirm again with **F4=OK**.

![InvtPutawayStep10](https://bcdocs.staedean.com/md/en-US/DemoProcesses/Images/ANY_Invtputawaystep10.png)
4. If an item is scanned that is not related to the put-away, an error message appears.

![InvtPutawayStep11](https://bcdocs.staedean.com/md/en-US/DemoProcesses/Images/ANY_Invtputawaystep11.png)
5. Enter a bin code where the items will be stored. The suggested bin comes from the put-away line. Use **F6=Lookup** to view a list of bins. Continue by pressing **F4=OK**.

![InvtPutawayStep12](https://bcdocs.staedean.com/md/en-US/DemoProcesses/Images/ANY_Invtputawaystep12.png)
6. Enter the quantity to handle (for example, four, make sure it is less than the outstanding quantity) and press **F4=OK**.

![InvtPutawayStep13](https://bcdocs.staedean.com/md/en-US/DemoProcesses/Images/ANY_Invtputawaystep13.png)
7. By pressing OK, the system updates the Inventory Put-Away line in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. There are now two lines for item 70010.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note** To see the result in D365 BC, go to the Inventory Put-away:
> 
> - The first line shows the **Bin Code** and **Qty. To Handle** populated, with the Quantity changed from 10 to four.
> - The second line has all data copied from the first line, but the **Qty. To Handle** is reset to 0 and the **Quantity** is filled with the original quantity minus the Qty. to Handle of the first line.
> 
> What actually happens is the execution of the Split Line function in the mobile process while updating the Qty. to Handle of the Put-Away document line.
> 
> ![InvtPutawayStep14](https://bcdocs.staedean.com/md/en-US/DemoProcesses/Images/ANY_Invtputawaystep14.png)
8. The process returns to the Item No. step. Press **F6=Lookup** to view the lines. Notice the first handled line is not visible, fully handled lines are hidden. Select the second line with the Lot-tracked item. Confirm with **F4=OK**.

![InvtPutawayStep15](https://bcdocs.staedean.com/md/en-US/DemoProcesses/Images/ANY_Invtputawaystep15.png)
9. The next step asks for a Lot Number. Enter a new lot number and continue with **F4=OK**.

![InvtPutawayStep16](https://bcdocs.staedean.com/md/en-US/DemoProcesses/Images/ANY_Invtputawaystep16.png)
10. Confirm the suggested bin code with **F4=OK** to go to the next step, or select a bin code from the list with **F6=Lookup**.

![InvtPutawayStep17](https://bcdocs.staedean.com/md/en-US/DemoProcesses/Images/ANY_Invtputawaystep17.png)
11. Enter the quantity to handle in this step. Enter a quantity that is less than the Quantity outstanding (for example, five). Confirm with **F4=OK**.

![InvtPutawayStep18](https://bcdocs.staedean.com/md/en-US/DemoProcesses/Images/ANY_Invtputawaystep18.png)
12. After confirming, the process returns to the Scan Item activity. Enter or select the third item.

![InvtPutawayStep19](https://bcdocs.staedean.com/md/en-US/DemoProcesses/Images/ANY_Invtputawaystep19.png)
13. The last item is serial number tracked, so a separate line exists for each item. Enter a serial number and continue with **F4=OK**.

![InvtPutawayStep20](https://bcdocs.staedean.com/md/en-US/DemoProcesses/Images/ANY_Invtputawaystep20.png)
14. Enter the bin code in the following step, or select one from a list. Confirm again with **F4=OK**.

![InvtPutawayStep21](https://bcdocs.staedean.com/md/en-US/DemoProcesses/Images/ANY_InvtPutawaystep21.png)
15. No quantity to handle is requested because it is fixed at one for serial tracked items. The system updates the put-away in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note** In D365 BC, note that the line with item 80216-T has also been split. The Quantity to Handle and tracking details are also updated.
> 
> ![InvtPutawayStep22](https://bcdocs.staedean.com/md/en-US/DemoProcesses/Images/ANY_Invtputawaystep22.png)
16. The process returns to the Enter Item activity. Press **F7=Post** to schedule the inventory put-away to be posted via the job queue.

![InvtPutawayStep23](https://bcdocs.staedean.com/md/en-US/DemoProcesses/Images/ANY_Invtputawaystep23.png)
17. The process returns to the first step, while in the background the put-away is being posted.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note** To see the result in D365 BC, go to **Warehouse** > **Planning & Operations** > **Posted Documents** > **Posted Invt. Put-Away** and open the last document in the list.
