Putaway Profile

🚚 Understanding Putaway Profiles in Canary7

A Putaway Profile in Canary7 is a configurable set of rules that define how Putaway Jobs are executed once goods have been checked in and assigned a storage location.

It allows you to tailor the Putaway process to reflect your warehouse layout, operational workflows, and user needs — ensuring speed, accuracy, and flexibility.

🧩 Why Use Putaway Profiles?

Putaway Profiles help you:

• 🔒 Control which users can perform which types of putaway

• 🧠 Apply different rules in different zones or for different job types

• ✅ Streamline or enforce specific verifications (e.g. location confirmation)

• ⚙️ Integrate with automation (if applicable)

🔎 Example Use Cases

• 👷 Senior operatives may have streamlined profiles with fewer verification steps for faster execution.

• 🏗️ Zone-specific profiles (e.g. High Bay, Fast Pick) can reflect specialised workflows or equipment used in those areas.

📂 Accessing Putaway Profiles

To access:

1. Open the Navigation Menu

2. Type "Putaway Profile" in the Search Bar

3. Or go to:
   Configuration > Receiving Profile Setup > Putaway Profile

⚙️ General Tab Settings

This tab controls the core Putaway execution behaviour. Toggle the following options based on your operational needs:

🔁 Drive Command to Machine Location

• Used only in warehouses with integrated WCS (Warehouse Control Systems).

• Sends a drive command to automated equipment to direct product movement.

• ⚠️ Not used in manual operations.

🔄 Change Location

• Allows operatives to manually override the system-assigned location.

• Useful when:

  • A location is blocked or inaccessible.

  • A nearby, more suitable location is identified.

📦 Allow Partial Putaway

• Lets users put away part of the quantity if the full job cannot be completed.

• Useful when:

  • Location capacity is insufficient.

  • Items must be split across multiple bins.

  • Operational priorities require deferring part of the job.

• If disabled, full completion is enforced — the entire quantity must be stored before the job can be closed.

🧮 Check In By

• Choose how item quantities are interpreted:

  • Unit – e.g., 5 boxes

  • Quantity – e.g., 250 items

• Helps align with how stock is received and moved.

🗂️ Job Zones Tab

Use this tab to define which Job Zones the profile applies to:

• ✅ Tick the relevant zones to allow this profile to be used in specific warehouse areas.

• 🧩 Supports zone-specific workflows and segmentation.

🛠️ Job Type Tab

Unlike other Profiles, Putaways will typically only fall under a single Job Type.

✅ Verifications Tab

This tab defines the validation steps a user must complete during Putaway:

• 📍 e.g., Scan or confirm location

• ✅ Click to enable the verification types needed for this profile

These help enforce accuracy and prevent misplacement during the putaway process.
