Directed put-away

Directed put-away means Klovio suggests where each received item should go, instead of leaving it to the worker. It keeps the warehouse organized as it fills.

How it works

When a worker scans a received item during put-away, Klovio suggests a location based on:

• The product’s default location — see Set a product’s default location
• Where the same SKU is already stored
• Open space in the right zone for that product

The worker carries it there, scans the location to confirm, and the stock is booked in.

Why use it

• Consistency — the same SKU lands in the same place, every time.
• Speed — no decision to make; just follow the suggestion.
• Less mess — stock doesn’t get scattered into random bins.

Overriding a suggestion

The suggestion isn’t a lock. If the suggested bin is full or unreachable, the worker scans a different location and Klovio records the real one. The system follows reality.

Without directed put-away

Workers simply choose a location and scan it — see Put away received stock. Directed put-away just adds the guidance.

Tip: directed put-away is only as good as your default locations. Keep those current and the suggestions stay trustworthy.
