Putaway is the physical control step after receiving. Arcus does not show a separate Putaway tab in the current Warehouse navigation. Use **Bins**, **Relocations**, **Transfers**, **Returns**, and **Quarantine** to move or resolve stock after receipt. ## Where Putaway Happens The current Warehouse workspace includes Bins, Pick Lists, Receiving, Returns, Cycle Counts, Relocations, Transfers, Quarantine, Print Label by Scan, and Walk-in Pack. Use these areas for putaway work: * **Bins**: review bin contents and bin type. * **Relocations**: move stock between bins or zones inside a location. * **Transfers**: move stock between warehouse locations. * **Returns**: inspect customer returns that are received and still in holding. * **Quarantine**: resolve damaged PO receipt lines that are pending inspection. ## Standard Putaway Flow 1. Confirm the receipt source: PO receipt, manual receipt, customer return, or quarantined PO receipt. 2. Confirm the current location and bin, if bins are enabled. 3. Inspect the product, packaging, quantity, and serials when applicable. 4. Move sellable goods to the correct storage or picking bin. 5. Keep damaged, defective, incomplete, or disputed units out of sellable storage. 6. Record the movement or disposition in the matching Arcus workflow. If bins are enabled, PO receiving captures the selected bin on the receipt. Bin-specific routing is still surfaced through the warehouse bin and relocation workflows, so use the visible bin tools to confirm where the stock should physically live. ## Location Scope Putaway should follow the selected warehouse location. If the header location selector is pinned to one warehouse, work from the matching rows and destination bins for that location. Do not move stock into a location just to make it visible for another workflow. Use **Transfers** when goods physically leave one warehouse for another. Locations can be configured as warehouse, holding, receiving, or write-off style locations. System locations such as Receiving, Holding, and Write-off may be seeded for the entity and are used by receiving and returns flows. ## Customer Return Putaway Customer returns are first received into a receiving or holding location. After receipt: * Use **Warehouse > Returns** to find RMAs in **received** or **inspecting** status. * Inspect the returned goods before moving them to sellable inventory. * Restock only items that are safe to sell. * Write off, destroy, quarantine, or send to vendor when the item should not return to sellable inventory. Do not restock damaged or defective customer returns unless the workflow explicitly requires a force-restock override and a reason. ## PO Quarantine Putaway Damaged PO receipt lines with a quarantine disposition appear in **Warehouse > Quarantine**. They are not ordinary putaway tasks. Use the queue to choose one resolution: * **Approve restock**: release from quarantine and restock at the receiving location. * **Return to vendor**: record the vendor return outcome and continue the vendor return workflow if needed. * **Write off**: record the inventory loss and accounting entry. Quarantine resolution is audited and cannot be repeated after the item leaves **Pending Inspection**. ## Common Blocks **Destination bin does not exist**: create or activate the bin before moving stock. **Bin is not in the selected location**: change the destination or switch to the correct warehouse location. **Item is damaged or incomplete**: keep it out of sellable storage and use Quarantine, Returns, Vendor Returns, or Write-off. **Return is still pending receipt**: receive the RMA first, then inspect and disposition it. **Quarantine item already resolved**: use the receipt, PO, or inventory transaction history for review. The queue will not resolve the same receipt item twice. **Inventory is in the wrong warehouse**: use a Transfer rather than a bin relocation. ## Related Articles Receive PO, return, and manual stock into the correct location.
