In Business Central you can combine multiple warehouse put-aways into a single put-away document using the put-away worksheet. Instead of having one warehouse employee work through several separate put-away documents, you consolidate the lines into one document and handle the entire put-away in one go.
To do this, you delete the existing warehouse put-aways. Deleting a put-away makes the underlying warehouse documents available again in the put-away worksheet. From there you select all the documents you want, pull in the lines, and create one combined put-away document.
In the current version you have to delete the put-aways one by one. You cannot delete several in one operation.
Why combine warehouse put-aways into one document
When you create warehouse put-aways from warehouse receipts, each receipt typically results in its own put-away document. You might have four or five receipts coming into the warehouse, or even 20 different receipts producing 20 different put-away documents. The goods are all sitting in the receipt area, but the put-away work is split across many documents.
If you want a single warehouse employee to put everything away at once, working through that many separate documents is inefficient. Combining them into one put-away document makes the job easier to manage.
How to combine put-aways using the put-away worksheet
The process works like this. Start by looking at your existing warehouse put-aways. In this example there are three documents. One has 16 lines, another has four lines, and so on. These could just as easily have been 20 documents from 20 different receipts.
To consolidate them, delete the put-away documents. Note that in the current version you have to delete them one at a time, since deleting several at once is not supported.
When you delete a put-away, the underlying warehouse documents become applicable again. They reappear in the put-away worksheet ready to be processed.
In the put-away worksheet, select all the documents you want to combine. The worksheet imports all the lines that need to be put away. You can then choose whether to fill in the quantity to handle and other details before creating the put-away.
Once you create the put-away document, you end up with a single warehouse put-away that contains all the lines from the three original documents. This makes it much easier to carry out one large put-away rather than several small ones.
