Select Yes if you allow the Receiving source documents (PO Receipts and I/C Receipts) to put away stock into this bin. Select No if you do not allow receiving in this bin. 

Select Yes if you want to allow picking from the bin.

Select No if you don't allow pickup from this bin.

Enter a shortcut code if required. If entered, then the operators can type just the short cut instead of typing the full bin code. 

For example if you always pick from bin A10101, you might want to call this Bin “A”. By typing A in the Quick Bin Code, it is equivalent to typing in the full bin code.
