You can store items that are too large for a bin as 'shelf items' in Pio. Larger products can be stored on a shelf, rack or other locations that fits the item.
Shelf storing in three simple steps
Enter Store flow
Start the storing process normally by selecting 'Store' from the homescreen. Instead of selecting a bin layout, choose the 'Store shelf item' button:
Select product or SKU
Find the product you want to store by scanning a barcode or using the search. Select the product and adjust the number of items to store before you select ‘Next':
If the product is already stored on a shelf location, you will see the 'XX shelf location' button in the upper right corner. Select this button to view existing locations for the product.
Add a shelf location
Register a shelf name for where you are storing the product, either by scanning a shelf barcode or typing the shelf name manually. Then select ‘Store items’:
After storing a shelf item, continue storing another item or use the back-button in upper left corner to Exit storing and return to the homepage.
Shelf locations and barcodes
Pio recommends using barcode labels with the location IDs for shelves and storing locations outside the grid. Barcode labels ease the storing task as you can use a scanner when storing. Also, this way the location IDs can be easily reused.
