Bins

Bins are a level of storage within a company location. A bin can be a specific area, rack, shelf, or row at the location.

You set up bins at the location level and they may be defined a GLN in Global Location Numbers.

Before you set up bins, you must set up bin usage types and storage codes. After you define bins, you can set up items to be tracked by bin. Items tracked by bin are commonly referred to as bin-tracked items.

A bin-tracked item is an example of an item tracking method within Inventory Control. This method enables you to track items by their bin location. When you set up it you indicate whether an item is to be tracked by bin.
