• Key Concepts: 
  Cross-line stock putaway is a process in SAP Warehouse Management (LE-WM) that allows for the storage of goods in a warehouse in a way that optimizes the use of space. This process involves the movement of goods from one storage bin to another, based on the size and shape of the goods, as well as the available space in the warehouse. The goal is to maximize the efficiency of the warehouse by ensuring that all goods are stored in an organized and efficient manner.
  
  How to use it: 
  Cross-line stock putaway is used when goods are received into a warehouse. The process begins by determining the size and shape of the goods, as well as the available space in the warehouse. Based on this information, a decision is made as to which storage bin is best suited for storing the goods. The goods are then moved from their original location to the designated storage bin. This process is repeated until all goods have been stored in an organized and efficient manner.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using cross-line stock putaway, it is important to ensure that all goods are stored in an organized and efficient manner. This can be done by creating a plan for how each item should be stored, and then following that plan when moving items from one storage bin to another. Additionally, it is important to keep track of which items have been moved and where they have been stored, so that they can be easily located when needed.
