Item/Bin Assignment

Item/Bin Assignment

Item/bin assignment on the Web Console allows for items to be associated with bins. The function also allows bins to be set up as the primary picking bin for an item and have an associated minimum quantity. Once that minimum is met it will help drive replenishments within the system. 

Users may also set a maximum quantity for the item in the bin, setting a maximum helps to direct the user to a location during replenishment. If you are not using this function for primary bin assignment for an item, you may also use it for simply designating locations where you would like this item to be put away and picked from during daily processes.

To assign bins to items, navigate to Inventory Operations > Item Tools > Item/Bin Assignment.
