Enter the Bin number. The bin number can be up to 10 characters (A..Z, 0..9) long. 

Enter a description for the bin

Select if the Bin is active Yes/No

Select if the Bin is a Temporary Bin - Yes/NoTemporary Bins can be made inactive by using the Periodic Processing Task.

Enter the picking order which the goods will be picked

Select the order in which your items will be put away

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. 

If you are restricting items in a bin, then the allowed item codes must be entered (or selected). If you wish to define a restocking level and restocking quantity for an item in a bin, then the item number must be entered or selected. 

The item description is displayed.

Optional. If you define a unit of measure for this item in this bin, then the system can “warn” or “error” if you do bin transfers not using this unit of measure for this bin depending on the setting for “Allow different UOMs” 

Allow/Don’t Allow/Warn. If Don’t Allow or Warn is selected and a bin transfer document uses a different unit of measure as to the one defined for this item and bin, then Bin Tracking will warn or stop the entry.
