Currently, warehouse workers can initiate the putaway process on clusters that are still in an 'Open' status without closing them first. This leads to a recurring issue where clusters remain locked to a user even after all associated work is completed, preventing their reuse for future receipts.

This behavior stems from the system allowing putaway to begin without enforcing cluster closure. To improve operational efficiency and prevent unnecessary locking, we propose a validation check that restricts the putaway process unless the cluster is explicitly closed.
