Overview

This section uses the Contoso Coffee demo data to walk through warehouse processes in three configurations. An introduction page describes the three demo locations: one basic with bins, one advanced without bins, and one advanced with directed put-away and pick.

Three walkthroughs follow. The SILVER location shows the basic configuration (Order-by-Order) with inventory put-away and inventory pick. The YELLOW location shows a mixed setup with basic inbound and advanced outbound flows. The WHITE location shows the advanced configuration with directed put-away and pick.

Start with the introduction to see which location fits your scenario, then open the walkthrough for that location.
