Bins |
The Bins screen enables you to define bin location IDs at a parts location.
Tip: To designate a bin as primary, use the Basic Info tab on the Data -> Parts Items -> Location Information screen.
The screen has one tab, Basic Info. The field in the top section of the tab enables you to create an bin ID and associate it with a location.

Location ID
Identifier of the location associated with the bin. This field has a list box. The location description displays to the right of the field. This field is required.
Data in the fields in the bottom section of this tab enable you to describe the bin and specify whether it is active.

Shipping Information
Shipping Information supports the bin type of SHIPPING. Shipping Information data are optional and validate when entered.
Is Returnable
If a shipping bin is returnable, check this check box. It can be set only if the bin type is SHIPPING. Returnable shipping bins must have a related serialized part to track as part of the process.
Destination Location ID
Destination Location ID is used to lock shipping bins that will be sent to a location so that only items being sent to that location can go in the bin. This field is optional and can only be set if the bin type is SHIPPING. If a location is entered, it must be valid. If you move parts into a shipping bin that does not have a current destination location, the Destination Location ID will be set based on the Transfer Request to Location. Destination Location ID is cleared when non-returnable shipping bins have no other pending transfers.
