Overview
This area covers warehouse work that happens inside and between locations. It has three subtopics: production, assembly and job activities; moving items; and warehouse counting.
The production, assembly and job pages explain how components are picked or moved to the work area, how output is put away, and how basic and advanced warehouse setups differ. The move items pages cover bin moves, unplanned internal movements and transfers between locations. The warehouse counting pages cover physical inventory counts, adjustments and reclassification.
The hub has no pages of its own. Start with the subtopic that matches the task. First check whether the location uses a basic or an advanced (directed put-away and pick) setup, because the page or journal to use depends on it.
