Master Records > Warehouse > Set Up Warehouse

1.In the Bin grid you can configure the bins that exists in the warehouse. Click the Add or Insert buttons to add a new line in the grid. Enter the appropriate values in the following fields:

oBin

Enter in this field a code that you can use to identify the bins in this warehouse. You will use the bin record to specify the bin location of your inventory items.

Note: The system provides a default value in the Bin field "Master" when you add a bin in the grid for the very first time. You may accept or amend the value in this field.

oPick Sequence

The value in this field identifies the sequence number for each bin which can be used to sort the bins by clicking the Pick Sequence column header. It also signifies the default warehouse bin hierarchy from which the items for shipment will be picked. Accept or amend the value in this field if necessary.

oDescription

Enter in this field the name or a description you will use to identify the warehouse bin.

oShort Description

Enter in this field a brief description that you will use to easily identify the warehouse bin.

oRemarks

Enter in this field a brief narrative about the warehouse bin or about the inventory items that are assigned this bin.

oStatus

Bin status is set to Inactive by default. Setting the bin status to Active configures the system to allow the bin to be used in various inventory transactions. Accept or amend the value in this field if applicable.

oReceive

Mark this checkbox if you want the bin to be a receiving bin where you can post received goods; otherwise, leave the checkbox unmarked. If you set up two or more bins in a warehouse, you can mark each bin to be a receiving bin. The system will consider the first bin listed on the grid as the Master bin. This will be the default Receiving Bin when posting received goods transactions.

oMA Returns Bin

Mark this checkbox if you want the bin to be a receiving bin for Manufacturing returns. When selected, this bin will be the default receiving bin when recording received manufacturing return transactions.

2.To delete bins in this grid, highlight the bin that you want to delete; then, click the Delete button in the grid toolbar.

Note: You can delete a bin if there is no pending inventory transaction and if the bin has a zero inventory item on hand quantity; otherwise, you have to move them to other bins before you can proceed with deleting the bin.
