In technical testing, you might be asked to identify which process does not belong in a list of outbound workflows: Wave Planning, Putaway, Picking, or Packing. The answer is Putaway, which is an inbound storage process.
Putaway takes received goods and finds them a home, whereas wave planning, picking, and packing are focused on gathering and preparing goods to leave the warehouse.
Understanding these boundary lines is essential for configuring system integrations. Inbound and outbound processes often feed into different modules of host ERPs and demand different communication flows.
