Warehouse Bins

This lets you capture and maintain details of warehouse bins required within the system.

Notes and warnings

Limits and restrictions

  • You cannot access this program if the Fixed bins setup option is not enabled (Inventory Setup).

    The details captured/displayed for this program are currently only for informational purposes. They will only be applied when the next phase of the project is released.

Deletion considerations

  • You can't delete a bin if there are bin records for that warehouse/bin combination and any of these have a quantity on hand for the current or previous two months.

    If the InvMultBin table contains a record with a zero quantity on hand, then you will need to run the Month end and purge option of the Inventory Period End program and select the Remove bins with zero quantity option to purge the table of these bins.

    [Note]

    This can only be done for bins that are not the default bin for the warehouse.

eSignature considerations

Electronic Signatures provide security access, transaction logging and event triggering. This enables you to increase control over your system changes.

Access to the following eSignature transactions within this program can be restricted at Operator, Group, Role or Company level. You configure this using the eSignature Setup program.
