Under SSD-Inbound Stow Bin Etiquette, which instruction specifically applies to books and DVDs?

• A. Do not overhang product.
• B. Place books/DVDs with titles out.
• C. Same/similar ASINS should not be placed in the same bin or adjacent bins (HALO RULE).
• D. Stand up tall; flat items vertical, not horizontal.

Answer: (B)

For books and DVDs, the instruction to place titles out is about visibility and quick verification. When a media item is stowed with the title facing outward, the worker can immediately read the title and confirm the item matches the intended SKU or bin label, reducing misplacement and speeding up the put-away process. This specific visibility rule is what makes it the best answer for books and DVDs.

The other rules cover general handling or other considerations: avoiding overhang protects items and safety, the HALO rule prevents stacking similar ASINs in the same or neighboring bins to reduce mix-ups, and keeping flat items oriented vertically helps stability and scanning. None of these are as specifically applicable to media items’ readability as placing books and DVDs with titles out.
