[Platform User Guides](https://knowledgebase.fulfillmenthubusa.com/platform-user-guides?hsLang=en) # Fulfillment Hub USA – Putaway in ShipHero WMS The **Putaway** feature in ShipHero is used to move inventory **between locations inside the same warehouse**. If you need to move stock from one FHU warehouse to another, please refer to **“How to Transfer Inventory from One Warehouse to Another.”** Using Putaway, our team doesn’t need manual notes or memory to know which locations are open or where partial cases ended up. ShipHero: - Helps you quickly find **empty locations** while receiving and putting away new inventory. - Suggests **existing locations for the same product**, so you keep SKUs consolidated instead of spread across the building. ![https://youtu.be/PPLdW2Md6sA](https://software-help.shiphero.com/hc/article_attachments/5051807416333/3_cf28af1e-0671-4c48-8321-68adb838b6ff.png) --- #### Getting Started On the **ShipHero Mobile App**, go to: > **Products \> Putaway** There are three ways to start a new Putaway flow, all using your mobile scanner: - **Scan an Item** - **Scan a Case** - **Scan a Location** > **![](https://software-help.shiphero.com/hc/article_attachments/5051802234381)** > > **Note:** Make sure that you have available inventory for the item and the source location. If not, ShipHero will show an error. --- #### Creating a New Putaway List 1. **Scan any item or case** you want to move. 2. If the barcode matches an existing SKU, a popup will appear showing all locations that currently hold that product. ![5\_70b6d1c7-b3e0-4545-81c7-c7cd1fceee75.png](https://software-help.shiphero.com/hc/article_attachments/5051838246285) **IMAGE – Item locations popup** > List of locations with current quantities for the scanned SKU. 3. Select a location and tap **Confirm**. - If you scan a location, ShipHero will automatically treat it as the source and skip the selection dialog. This tells Putaway **where you’re pulling the units from**. 4. After choosing the source location, you’ll see the **Putaway list in Draft mode**. From the Draft screen you can: - Preview how many **SKUs and units** will be transferred. - Edit which SKUs are included. - Adjust the **quantity** of each SKU to be moved. ![6\_39745472-cd53-4cb2-a4cb-195f7b5e1576.png](https://software-help.shiphero.com/hc/article_attachments/5051838255757) **IMAGE – Putaway list in Draft mode** 5. To remove an SKU, either: - Set its putaway quantity to **0**, or - Tap the item options and select **Remove**. 6. You can **add more items or cases** to the same list at any time by scanning them. 7. If you **scan a location**, ShipHero will add **all items with remaining inventory** in that location to the Putaway list. ![7\_6ecef3ad-1b0f-4581-9bb7-b1a34e6b496d.png](https://software-help.shiphero.com/hc/article_attachments/5051838366861) **IMAGE – Adding items by scanning a location** > **Tip:** Putaway highlights products that need **replenishment**, so you can prioritize getting those back into pickable inventory quickly. ![8\_721aa8e0-b37e-41a3-bd8e-62ddcce74426.png](https://software-help.shiphero.com/hc/article_attachments/5051807564173) **IMAGE – Replenishment indicators on Putaway list** Once everything looks correct, tap **Start Putaway** to begin the process. --- #### Running the Putaway Process When you tap **Start Putaway**, the list moves from **Draft** to **In Progress**. At this stage: - The list **can’t be edited** (you can’t add or remove SKUs). - You’re ready to physically move product. ![9\_eb8b201a-704a-474e-af47-769e98410134.png](https://software-help.shiphero.com/hc/article_attachments/5051807614861) **IMAGE – Putaway list In Progress** 1.

Scan a destination location or tap one from the list to set it as the **target**. 4. Optionally, use **Filters** (top right) to hide: - Non-pickable locations - Unsellable locations 5. After choosing the destination, you’ll be taken to the **Transfer Item** screen. ![11\_866273dd-ca84-4822-a02d-e43f1358cc82.png](https://software-help.shiphero.com/hc/article_attachments/5051814296333) **IMAGE – Transfer Item screen** --- #### Transferring Items On the **Transfer Item** screen you can: - Enter the quantity to move using the **input field**, or - Scan items to count them into the transfer. - Change the **target location** by tapping the location badge/name. You don’t have to transfer everything at once: - Tap **SAVE** to record a partial transfer and return to the list. - Use the **ALL** button in the input field to transfer the full expected quantity and auto-save. ![12\_7d6d862d-9c94-418a-a39d-a139a1140eed.png](https://software-help.shiphero.com/hc/article_attachments/5051838502029) **IMAGE – Transfer quantity (with ALL button)** After saving, you’ll be returned to the Putaway list. Status icons show your progress: ![13\_fc9e0e9d-2804-448d-b0be-ac1c3a33e7a5.png](https://software-help.shiphero.com/hc/article_attachments/5051814427405) **IMAGE – Putaway list with status icons** - **Green check** – Expected quantity for that SKU has been fully transferred. - **Orange check** – Only a partial quantity has been transferred. You can also monitor overall progress using the **badges at the top** of the screen (e.g., remaining items). ShipHero will update the **inventory transfer logs** with all completed moves, so you can audit changes later. When you’re done: - Tap **Complete** to finish the Putaway process, or - Let the system automatically complete the list when all expected quantities have been transferred. If you still have other SKUs to move later, you can add them to a **new Putaway list**. ![14\_0e80f559-92ef-4656-a745-3a5ebf075045.png](https://software-help.shiphero.com/hc/article_attachments/5051822534285) **IMAGE – Completed Putaway list** --- #### FAQ – Putaway at Fulfillment Hub USA **Q: What happens to the items I didn’t transfer?** **A:** Nothing changes. Any units you don’t move stay in their original locations. --- **Q: What if I close out of a batch before finishing all transfers?** **A:** Completed transfers are saved. Any remaining items are simply removed from that Putaway batch and left as-is in their original locations. --- **Q: Can I save my list for later?** **A:** No. Putaway lists are **temporary**. If you need to continue later, you can create a new list and scan the remaining items again. --- **Q: Are these transfers logged anywhere?** **A:** Yes. All movements are recorded in the **Inventory Change Log** so you can trace what was moved, when, and by whom. --- **Q: Can I create a very large list (e.g., 1,000 items) and only transfer a few?** **A:** Yes. Putaway is flexible and only modifies items that are actually transferred. Anything not completed remains in its original location. --- **Q: Is the list unique for each user?** **A:** No. Lists are not user-locked. Other users can create or replicate similar lists. --- **Q: Are items locked to a specific user during Putaway?** **A:** Not by default. If strict user locking is something your operation requires, please contact your ShipHero point of contact to discuss a feature request. --- **Q: Is this a fully guided putaway that tells me what to move and where?** **A:** Not yet. This feature is the foundation for smarter, more guided putaway workflows that can be layered on top. --- **Q: Is there a video walkthrough?** **A:** Yes.
