Screenshot of the Location with directed put-away and pick.

All warehouse requirements appear dimmed because of the Warehouse Management System requirements. If the Directed Put-away and Pick field is selected, this location will use Warehouse Management System. When this field is selected, the Require Receive, Require Shipment, Require Put-away, Require Pick, and the Bin Mandatory fields are selected by default and become noneditable, which means that this location uses bins and all warehouse documents. From now on, it won't be possible to post receipts from a purchase order and shipments from the sales order.

You can also select to use the put-away worksheet to organize your put-away activities. From this worksheet, put-away can be created, which provides you with the ability to make changes to the put-away. When activated, deleted put-away lines can be retrieved through this worksheet to create a new put-away.
