What is Directed Put-Away?

Directed put-away is a WMS capability that automatically determines the optimal storage location for each incoming item — replacing manual operator guesswork with rules-driven, AI-optimized bin assignments. The WMS evaluates SKU velocity, product dimensions, weight limits, zone capacity, hazmat classification, and rack type to direct every put-away move in real time.

AtomIQ WMS directed put-away integrates natively with JD Edwards E1 (F4100, F4101, F4111, F4312), NetSuite, and SAP — meaning put-away completions sync directly to your ERP with no middleware, no manual reconciliation, and no batch delays.

Core Capabilities

Everything in Directed Put-Away — Built for JDE E1 Teams

Pre-built put-away rules for every warehouse scenario — from standard pallet racks to push-back racks, drive-in racking, and hazmat zones. All synced natively with JDE E1, NetSuite, and SAP.

Rule-Based Put-Away Engine

Configure put-away rules by SKU class, product family, zone, velocity (ABC), weight, dimensions, or custom attribute. Rules cascade in priority order — the WMS always selects the optimal bin without operator judgment.
→ Zone, velocity, and attribute-based rules

RFID and Barcode Scan-to-Put-Away

Operators scan incoming license plates or carton barcodes via mobile device or RFID reader. AtomIQ instantly displays the directed bin, route, and put-away confirmation screen — zero paper, zero guesswork.
→ Mobile-first, hands-free receiving

AI Push-Back Rack Consolidation

AtomIQ AI analyzes push-back rack utilization in real time — consolidating partial lanes, recommending optimal SKU placement, and preventing lane fragmentation. Specifically engineered for push-back, drive-in, and pallet-flow rack systems.
→ Push-back, drive-in, pallet-flow support

Native JDE E1 Integration

AtomIQ reads JDE E1 item master (F4101), location master (F4100), and PO receipts (F4312) natively without BSSV or Orchestrator. Put-away completions write back to F4111 inventory transactions in real time — no batch delays, no custom development.
→ JDE E1, World, NetSuite, SAP native

License Plate and LPN Tracking

Track every pallet, carton, and tote by License Plate Number throughout the put-away process. Full chain of custody from inbound dock to final bin — with timestamp, operator ID, and location history for audit and recall.
→ Full LPN and pallet traceability

Cross-Docking and Flow-Through Put-Away

For high-velocity items with pending outbound orders, AtomIQ identifies cross-docking opportunities automatically — directing stock straight to outbound staging, bypassing storage. Reduces handling cost and cycle time for fast-moving SKUs.
→ Automatic cross-dock identification

How It Works

5 Steps from PO Receipt to Bin Confirmation — JDE E1 Native

No paper. No manual ERP entry. No batch delays. Here is the exact flow from inbound dock scan to confirmed inventory in JDE E1.

1

Dock Arrival

PO Receipt Triggers in JDE E1

Inbound shipment arrives. PO receipt is confirmed in JDE E1 (F4312). AtomIQ pulls item and quantity data automatically.

2

Scan and Identify

Operator Scans LPN or Carton

Operator scans pallet LPN or carton barcode via RFID or mobile device. AtomIQ reads item master (F4101) from JDE E1 in real time.

3

AI Assigns Bin

AI Evaluates Rules and Directs

AI engine evaluates velocity class, zone, rack utilization, weight, and push-back lane availability. Optimal bin assigned instantly.

4

Navigate and Place

Operator Follows Directed Route

Mobile screen shows directed bin location and optimal travel path. Operator navigates and places stock. Scan to confirm at destination bin.

5

Real-Time ERP Sync

Transaction Writes to JDE E1 F4111

Put-away confirmation writes to JDE E1 F4111 inventory transactions in real time. Inventory accuracy updated instantly — no batch, no manual entry.

JDE E1 Integration

How AtomIQ Directed Put-Away Connects to JD Edwards E1

No BSSV. No Orchestrator dependency. No custom development. AtomIQ integrates at the JDE E1 data layer for real-time, bidirectional put-away sync.

AtomIQ also supports JDE Orchestrator for teams that have already invested in it — read our JDE Orchestrator + AtomIQ integration guide.

Rack System Support

AI-Optimized Put-Away for Every Rack Type — Including Push-Back

Most WMS platforms support selective racking only. AtomIQ was built for the full range of modern warehouse storage systems — including the dense storage types most WMS cannot handle.

🏗️

Push-Back Rack — AI Lane Consolidation

AtomIQ tracks utilization per lane in push-back systems. AI directs new put-away to consolidate partial lanes — preventing fragmentation that wastes 20 to 40% of capacity. Supports FIFO and LIFO assignment per lane per SKU.

🚗

Drive-In and Drive-Through Rack

High-density drive-in and drive-through rack requires strict LIFO or FIFO discipline per lane. AtomIQ enforces lane assignment rules and prevents mixed-SKU lane assignments — maximizing density without pick interference.

🌊

Pallet-Flow Rack

Gravity-fed pallet-flow systems require put-away at the rear and picking at the front. AtomIQ directs put-away to the correct loading end and tracks lane depth — auto-detecting when lanes require replenishment from reserve.

📦

Selective Pallet Racking

Standard selective racking with ABC velocity slotting, fixed or dynamic bin assignment, weight-limit enforcement per level, and seasonal SKU realignment. The most flexible configuration — suitable for any SKU profile.

🏢

Mezzanine and Multi-Level

Multi-level mezzanine and pick-module support with elevator routing, weight-per-level enforcement, and zone-based put-away rules per floor. Integrated with vertical lift modules (VLMs) and horizontal carousels.

⚠️

Hazmat and Temperature-Controlled Zones

Hazmat classification from JDE E1 item master automatically restricts put-away to compliant zones. Temperature zone enforcement for cold-chain items — flammables, corrosives, and refrigerated SKUs always go to the correct zone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Directed Put-Away - Common Questions

Answers to the most common questions about directed put-away, JDE E1 integration, and AtomIQ WMS deployment.

What is directed put-away in a WMS?

Directed put-away is a WMS feature that automatically assigns the optimal storage location for each incoming item using configurable rules and AI optimization. It evaluates SKU velocity, zone capacity, weight limits, and rack type to direct every move — eliminating operator guesswork and improving space utilization by up to 30 percent.

How does AtomIQ connect to JDE E1 for put-away?

AtomIQ reads JDE E1 item master (F4101), location master (F4100), and PO receipts (F4312) natively. Put-away completions write to F4111 inventory transactions in real time. No BSSV customization, no Orchestrator dependency, no batch sync. Works on JDE 9.2, 9.1, 8.12, and World.

Does AtomIQ support push-back rack put-away?

Yes. AtomIQ natively supports push-back racks, drive-in racks, and pallet-flow systems. The AI consolidation engine tracks lane utilization and directs put-away to consolidate partial lanes — preventing fragmentation that wastes 20 to 40 percent of dense storage capacity.

What is AI-led rack consolidation?

AI-led rack consolidation is where AtomIQ continuously analyzes push-back and drive-in rack utilization and directs new put-away to consolidate partial lanes. This frees complete lanes for new SKUs and maximizes capacity. Critical for push-back rack operations where lane fragmentation is the biggest capacity waste driver.

Does AtomIQ support directed pick as well?

Yes. AtomIQ WMS includes directed pick, directed put-away, directed replenishment, and cycle count automation in one platform. Directed pick routes operators through the most efficient pick path by zone, wave, or carrier SLA — all natively connected to JDE E1, NetSuite, and SAP.

Does AtomIQ integrate natively with TMS platforms?

Yes. AtomIQ WMS integrates natively with FedEx, UPS, MercuryGate, Oracle TMS, and MoLo. Inbound shipment data from TMS feeds into the put-away queue enabling pre-slotting before the truck arrives. Rate shopping compares all carriers per outbound shipment automatically.

What is LPN tracking in warehouse put-away?

LPN (License Plate Number) tracking assigns a unique identifier to every pallet, carton, or tote. AtomIQ tracks each LPN throughout put-away, recording operator, timestamp, and final bin location — providing full chain of custody for audit, recall, and inventory accuracy reporting.

How long does it take to deploy AtomIQ directed put-away?

Most warehouses go live with AtomIQ directed put-away in 3 to 7 days. The no-code rule configuration wizard, pre-built JDE E1 connector, and put-away rule templates eliminate custom development. Most teams are directing live put-away moves within the first week.
