# Put Aways

Put stock from client returns back on the shelves, from the good returns bin into pick face or bulk bins.

Good stock that a client returned can only be sold again once it's back on a shelf. A put away in OrderEazi takes returned stock out of the good returns bin, **R-Good-Bin**, and puts it into pick face bins (the bins pickers pick from) or bulk bins. OrderEazi suggests the bin for each item.

### Before you start

You'll need:

* **Permissions:** To put stock away, **Do Put Aways**, in the **Warehousing** permission group. To see and manage every put away, **Manage Put Aways**, **View and Use as Manager**, or **View and Use as Administrator**.
* **Stock in R-Good-Bin:** Put aways only take stock from this bin, which is where good stock from a finalised [client return](/central/warehouse-management/inbound/client-returns.md) goes. To move stock received on a Purchase Order, use a [movement request](/central/warehouse-management/move-stock/movement-requests.md).
* **Bins that allow put away:** Only bins with **Can Put Away** ticked can take stock. See [Locations](/central/warehouse-management/management/locations.md).
* **Settings:** The **Put Away Settings** in [Warehouse settings](/central/warehouse-management/warehouse-settings.md) decide what you scan first, and how bins are suggested.

You can also move returned stock with **Create Movement** on the client return. Use a put away when you want OrderEazi to suggest the bins.

### How to collect stock for a put away

1. In the warehouse menu, select **Move Stock** > **Put Aways**.
2. Select **Returns Put Away**.
3. Choose the warehouse, if you're asked.
4. Scan **R-Good-Bin**.
5. Scan each item you take out of the bin, one at a time.
6. Select **Start Put Away**.

Each scan takes one unit out of **R-Good-Bin**, and lists it under **Scanned stock items**. If you have an unfinished put away, select **Continue Put Away** to carry on with it.

### How to put the stock away

What you scan first depends on **Scan Sequence** in Warehouse settings.

**Scan Bin First:** OrderEazi shows the bin for each item: the first pick face bin that already holds it. Scan the bin shown, then scan each item that goes in it. When a bin is done, the next one shows.

**Scan Item First:** Scan an item, then choose a bin from the suggested **Pick-Face Locations** and **Bulk Locations**, and scan it. With **Require Quantity Input** on, enter how many you're putting there. Otherwise each bin scan puts away one unit.

With **Put-Away bin selection** set to **Auto Select**, OrderEazi suggests an empty bin when the item isn't in a bin yet.

When everything is put away, you'll see that the put away has been closed.

**Example:** A client returned 10 lanyards, and the return was finalised, so they're in **R-Good-Bin**. You start a returns put away, scan **R-Good-Bin**, scan the 10 lanyards, and select **Start Put Away**. With **Scan Bin First**, OrderEazi shows bin D-04, where lanyards are kept. You scan D-04 and the 10 lanyards.

If you see "This location does not allow put away", the bin doesn't have **Can Put Away** ticked. If you see "The scanned stock item does not belong in this bin", scan the bin shown for that item.

### How to manage put aways

With **Manage Put Aways**, select **Move Stock** > **Put Aways** in the warehouse menu to see every put away. Filter by **Warehouse**, **Document Number**, **Status** (**Open**, **Processing**, or **Closed**), and dates, then select **Filter**. In a put away's row:

* **View** and **Print:** These show and print the put away.
* **Cancel:** This puts every item back in **R-Good-Bin** and closes the put away. It's only offered before anything is put away.
* **Close:** This puts the items not yet put away back in **R-Good-Bin**, and closes the put away.
