Putaway and replenishment on mobile

Complete putaway and replenishment jobs on the warehouse floor using the Starshipit WMS mobile app — moving received stock to storage and topping up pick faces from bulk.

2 min readUpdated October 20, 2018

Both putaway and replenishment are movement jobs — you pick stock from one location and confirm where it's going next. The mobile flow is the same for both; the difference is where the stock is coming from and going to.

Both job types require equipment (a trolley or cart). Set your active equipment in Settings > Equipment before starting.

Putaway

What it is: Moving received stock from a staging or receiving location to its final storage location.

Putaway jobs are created after stock is received against a purchase order.

How it works

  1. Open a putaway job from My Jobs or Open Jobs.
  2. Go to the staging location shown in the job.
  3. Scan the source location to confirm you are in the right spot.
  4. Scan or confirm the product and quantity to pick up.
  5. Move to the destination location.
  6. Scan the destination location to confirm placement.
  7. Submit the putaway line.

Repeat for each line in the job. When all lines are done, the job completes.

Replenishment

What it is: Moving stock from a bulk storage location to a pick face to keep the forward-picking area stocked.

Replenishment jobs are triggered automatically when a pick face falls below its minimum threshold, or they can be created manually from the desktop.

How it works

  1. Open a replenishment job from My Jobs or Open Jobs.
  2. Go to the bulk storage location shown in the job.
  3. Scan the source location and product.
  4. Pick the required quantity.
  5. Move to the pick face location.
  6. Scan the pick face location to confirm you are putting stock in the right place.
  7. Submit.

The pick face inventory is updated once the job is completed.
