Putaway Rule

Tells the system which warehouse to put received items in, by priority and capacity. No ledger effect.

In detail

A Putaway Rule tells a Purchase Receipt or Material Receipt where to put an item: for each item and warehouse you set a capacity and a priority, and when goods arrive the system fills the highest priority warehouse up to its free capacity and spills the rest to the next. It replaces the clerk's guess with a standing instruction, so caps go to Koteshwor Store - YFF first up to 200 Nos and overflow to Stores - YFF. The rule changes which warehouse appears on the row, nothing more; stock and ledger postings follow the warehouse chosen. Keep capacities honest or the rule will keep sending goods to a full shelf.

Formula

Free capacity = capacity - current stock qty in that warehouse; receipt fills warehouses in priority order
