Can an operator switch between Scan SKU First and Scan Shelf First within the same list?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Ans.<\/strong>\u00a0Yes. Both workflows sit on the same list and lead to the same shelf-activation screen, so the operator can pick either entry point for each new shelf.<\/p>\n<p class=\"code-line\" dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"174\"><strong>Q. What happens if the operator scans a SKU or USN that isn&#8217;t part of the current list?<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Ans.<\/strong>\u00a0The app shows a\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Wrong SKU Scanned&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0message and rejects the scan. The active shelf stays intact, so the operator can continue scanning valid items.<\/p>\n<p class=\"code-line\" dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"177\"><strong>Q. Does the Shelf Suggester always cover every SKU in the list?<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Ans.<\/strong>\u00a0Not always. The app shows how many SKUs the suggestion covers (for example, &#8220;6 of 8 SKUs&#8221;) and lets the operator scan a different valid shelf for the remaining SKUs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"code-line\" dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"180\"><strong>Q. Can Putaway run on a shelf that Picking or Cycle Count is also using?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Ans.<\/strong>\u00a0Yes, in most cases. The app blocks the operator only when the same shelf is being actively scanned by another operation, or when the same SKU has a cycle count pending approval.<\/p>\n<p class=\"code-line\" dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"183\"><strong>Q. What happens to items that are never scanned before the operator completes the putaway?<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Ans.<\/strong>\u00a0The app marks any unscanned item as\u00a0<strong>Not Picked<\/strong>\u00a0in the Putaway Summary, so supervisors can follow up on the shortfall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"code-line\" dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"186\"><strong>Q. How does the app calculate operator productivity?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Ans.<\/strong>\u00a0The Putaway Summary compares the operator&#8217;s actual pieces-per-hour rate against a target rate, alongside total time, quantity, SKUs, and shelves covered. This data feeds the Putaway Tracking tab and the Putaway Report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"code-line\" dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"189\"><strong>Q. Can good and bad inventory land on the same shelf?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Ans.<\/strong>\u00a0Only on shelves configured as &#8220;any.&#8221; An &#8220;any&#8221; shelf accepts good stock first and bad stock only afterward. Good-only and bad-only shelves reject any mismatched scan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview Introduction The\u00a0Put at Shelf flow lets a Putaway Operator (PO) place received inventory onto warehouse shelves using the Unicommerce Scale handheld app. The operator scans each item and confirms a shelf for it, while the app validates every scan and tracks quantities in real time.
