The latest release of SAP Warehouse Operator comes with several exciting new features. One of the most interesting ones is the support for product putaway.  

After the release of SAP Warehouse Operator Version 2.2 last December, we have worked on the next version of SAP Warehouse Operator, which has just been released with the following key capabilities:

  • Support for product putaway
  • Putaway by purchase order and inbound delivery number
  • Splitting of warehouse tasks 
  • Support for different destination bins inside a  warehouse order
  • Improved handling for scanning serial numbers
  • Audio playback for positive scanning feedback
  • Translation into additional standard languages (Spanish, French, Portuguese/Brazil, Japanese)

Support for product putaway

Putaway in a warehouse is the process, when goods that have been received from vendors are brought to their storage area in the warehouse. This allows for easy tracking of items and helps to prevent the loss of goods.

We have added support for product putaway on top of putting away handling units. This means that individual products can now be scanned and put away based on the product warehouse tasks created in Warehouse Management SAP S/4HANA Public Edition before.

The warehouse operator may choose between two different selection strategies, when working on warehouse tasks. The “Product” strategy allows the user to take a products from a handling unit, scan it and then start the related product warehouse task for putaway. As an alternative, the “Sorting” strategy can be used to put away products based on the sequence of warehouse tasks defined by the app.

Putaway by purchase order and inbound delivery number

The putaway of goods can now also be initiated by scanning or typing in the handling unit ID, purchase order number or inbound delivery number. Different entry points have been added accordingly.

Splitting of warehouse tasks 

To improve the handling of quantity differences for picking warehouse tasks, you can now also split warehouse tasks in the app. This is for example helpful, when a pick handling unit is full and not all items can be picked into it. The warehouse task may be splitted and a new task gets created for the remaining quantity. A new Pick-HU can then be created in the app to be used to pick the remaining quantity of items for the new warehouse task.  

More improvements

Also, different destination bins inside a warehouse order are now supported.

Additionally, we have improved scanning of serial numbers, which is now also possible from a list view, to get a better overview of the serial numbers that have and have not been scanned.

Furthermore, audio playback for positive scanning feedback has been added and the app is now also available in Spanish, French, Portuguese/Brazil and Japanese, when you preferer one of those languages.
