Correct answer & explanation
✓
Putaway with Quantity Check
The Putaway with Quantity Check strategy is designed to determine the destination storage bin by evaluating the storage section and the quantity of the product. It ensures that the selected bin has sufficient capacity and is located in the correct storage section. This strategy is ideal when the business requires automatic bin determination based on quantity and storage section, as it prevents overfilling and optimizes space utilization.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Putaway with Quantity Check
Why this is correct
Putaway with Quantity Check strategy determines the destination storage bin based on the storage section and the quantity of the product. It checks whether the bin has enough capacity to hold the incoming quantity. This strategy ensures that the goods are placed in a bin that can accommodate the quantity and is within the appropriate storage section, meeting the business requirement.
- ✗
General Putaway
Why it's wrong here
General Putaway strategy uses a simple search to find an empty bin without considering storage section or quantity. It is a basic strategy that does not optimize bin selection based on product quantity or storage section. It is typically used when no specific putaway strategy is required, but it does not meet the business requirement for quantity-based and storage section-based bin determination.
- ✗
Putaway with Storage Unit Type Check
Why it's wrong here
Putaway with Storage Unit Type Check verifies that the storage unit type (e.g., pallet, carton) is allowed in the destination bin. While it considers storage unit type, it does not determine the bin based on storage section and quantity. It is used to ensure compatibility between the storage unit and the bin, but it does not fulfill the requirement of quantity-based and storage section-based bin determination.
- ✗
Addition to Existing Stock
Why it's wrong here
Addition to Existing Stock strategy places incoming goods into a bin that already contains the same product, aiming to consolidate stock. It does not consider storage section or quantity for determining the destination bin. It is used to minimize space usage by adding to existing quantities, but it does not fulfill the requirement of determining the bin based on storage section and quantity.
