Bins (IC15.2)

Use Bins (IC15.2) to set up bins. Bins represent a level of storage that exists within a company location such as areas, racks, shelves, and rows.

More Information

Bin tracking is optional in the Inventory Control application and is assigned at the item location level in IC12.1 (Item Location) or IC10.2 (Item Master and Location). If an item is set up for bin tracking, a bin must be specified for every transaction, such as issues or receipts, which you enter for the item.

If you set up bins, you can optionally assign bin usage types and storage codes. Bin usage types, defined in IC01.3, restrict issues and receipts. Storage codes, defined in IC15.1, define physical bin limitations. After bins are set up, you can optionally set up bin groups in IC15.3 (Bin Groups).
