Put-away Plan or Storage Plan is a functionality to plan stock change from dock location category to another location or internal location.
Sage X3 offers flexibility to manage default location for a product within site for different operations. For instance, if a product exists in multiple locations of the site and for each operations (receipts, shipments, picking etc) has to be carried from different location, then we can add a default location for that particular operations.
There are multiple location categories in Sage X3:
- Internal.
- Dock – awaiting storage.
- Customer.
- Subcontract .
Internal: Internal location category is used for normal locations.
Dock – awaiting storage : The Dock location category is used to receive a location to a dock. It is possible to enter location without specifying the lot, sub-lot and its serial number.
Customer: Customer location category is used to managed the location of BP’s and also to manage the loan of goods to a specific BP.
Subcontract: Subcontract location category is used to manage the products in the subcontracting locations.
