In Business Central, you receive items and put them away using one of four methods, as described in the following table.

D | Post receipt from a warehouse receipt document and post put-away from a warehouse put-away document | Turned on | Turned on | Advanced |
Learn more at Inbound Warehouse Flow.
This article refers to method B in the table.
When your location is set up to require put-away processing but not receive processing, use an Inventory Put-away document to record and post put-away and receipt information for your source documents. Inbound source documents can be purchase orders, sales return orders, and inbound transfer orders.
Note
Production and assembly output also represent inbound source documents. Learn more about handling production and assembly output for internal processes at Design Details: Internal Warehouse Flows.
You can create an inventory put-away in three ways:
When you release purchase orders, sales return orders, and inbound transfer orders, the items on the orders become available to be put away. The following steps describe how to make the items on a purchase order ready to be put away.
A warehouse employee can create a new inventory put-away based on the released source document.
On the Inventory Put-aways page, open a previously created put-away document.
In the Bin Code field on the put-away lines, the bins where the items must be put away are suggested based on the items' default bin. You can change the bin if needed.
Perform the put-away, and then enter the actual quantity that was put away in the Qty. to Handle field.
If you must place the items for one line in more than one bin, for example because the designated bin is full, use the Split Line action on the Lines FastTab. The action creates a line for the remaining quantity to handle.
After you put the items away, choose the Post action.
Tip
To avoid mistakes, use the Preview Posting action to review the entries that posting will create. However, the preview won't show entries for inventory picks and put-aways that will post non-inventory lines from source documents. For example, lines that have the G/L Account type or items of the type Service.
