Putawaynoun

Moving received goods to their correct storage locations.

Putaway is the step after receiving: directing each item to the right bin or zone for storage. Good putaway logic shortens future picking and keeps fast movers accessible.

Directed putaway uses rules — by velocity, size or zone — to decide where stock should go, rather than leaving it to memory.
