Default Directed Putaway Logic

1. Calculate the weight / cubic of the ULD based on the item master data.

2. Calculate the popularity factor of the item.

   The key factor is the number of orders that the item appears on with a decaying calculation.

   Example

   An item with a large number of sales in the last month will be weighted more than an item with a large number of sales 2 months ago.

3. Filter by zones.

   This is only possible if the:

   • AllowedZones item attribute is set - this is if you wish to force it into a cool room.

   or

   • Inventory.DirectedPutaway.AllowedZones setting - this is useful if you wish to always send a tenant to a location.

4. A check if there is any stock already in bulk.

   If there is stock already in bulk, then we want to go directly to bulk to maintain FIFO.

5. If the Inventory.DirectedPutaway.AddToPicking is set to Yes (the default is No), it will see if it can top up an existing pick location.

6. Otherwise, a new pick location is created for the item.
