What would you do when the assigned putaway location is occupied?

Instruction: Would you complete this putaway task as shown? State your first check, then explain how you would resolve the location conflict.

Context:

A fictional putaway task directs pallet P-318, SKU ST-20, to location C-04-01. The WMS shows that location empty, but it contains another labeled pallet, P-177. A nearby location looks empty. Site rules require the lead to approve an alternative location and update or reissue the putaway task; associates cannot move other stock merely to clear their assigned location.

I would not confirm this putaway yet. First I would check C-04-01 and both pallet IDs to make sure I have read them correctly...
