When using warehouse operations to put away stock in a production make-to-stock scenario, you only have the option for an inventory put-away and not a warehouse put-away. If would be useful to have the option to also have warehouse put-aways for production output as:
1) Customer will want to use a consistent warehouse process. if they are using warehouse put-aways for receipts they do not want to use a separate document for production put-aways.
2) Can't put-away in a DPP scenario.

As for now, the production order supports Inventory Pu-aways. However, as for now, the Inv. put-away basically also works for posting the output, which can make sense. However, sometimes the output is already posted (sometimes directly from the production worker) and then it is not possible to work with Inv. put-aways.The following process would make much more sense:Expanding the options for "Prod. Output Whse. Handling" by "Warehouse Put-away".If "Use put-away worksheets" is not active on the location, posting output should directly create a warehouse put away, just like it is with warehouse receips.If "Use put-away worksheets" is active on the location, it should be possible to select the prod. order in the Put-Away Worksheet to combine it with other warehouse documents.This would be a great feature, which could be added quite naturally to existing features and setups.Additionally, it would also be interesting to combine it with some kind of Cross-Dock funtionallity. For example: the main demand for my production order is a sales order line with 5 pieces. Due to reorder policies and order modifiers on the item card, the production order request 10 pieces to produce. Now it would be great, if the put-away could be split to transfer 5 pieces into the warehouse for storage and the other 5 pieces to a cross dock bin for shipment.

You can create a Warehouse Put-Away using directed Put-away and pick but you need to do this in two steps. First create the Internal Put-away and from there create the Warehouse Put-AwayI would like a setup using Directed Put-Away and pick where Warehouse Put-Away is created directly. I can see the purpose of doing this through Internal Put-Away also so don't remove this. Make a setup where the company can decide if they want to create a warehouse put-away for each output or as now bundling this in the internal put-awayPS! We have made this in one of our appsBr.

For years I have deliberately avoided Directed Put & Pick Locations for Manufacturing because of this issue.Posting Output should optionally (by location) generate the Put-away
