💡 Best Practices

Section titled “💡 Best Practices”

Use Scanning

Scan bins, locations, tags, SKUs, UPCs, or product IDs instead of typing. This is faster and reduces errors.

Verify Locations

Double-check location codes before moving products or bins. This prevents products from going to the wrong place.

Select Categories Carefully

Choose the right product categories when loading Put Away. This filters the list to show only relevant products.

Use Suggestions

In Put Away detail screen, check suggested bins. These help you find appropriate destination locations.

Reset When Needed

Use Reset button to clear lists when starting fresh. This prevents confusion from old data.
