What is a Bin?
A bin is a storage location in the warehouse, that is capable of holding an inventory tag. This bin is a scannable barcode that serves as a license plate for the storage location. To store an inventory in the warehouse, a bin must first be assigned to a specific location that contains a tag. The inventory can then be placed within the bin, which is associated with the tag and its location.
To access Bins, go to
☰ > Warehouses > Bins
Understanding a Bin Location.
A bin location is created with a Zone, Aisle, Bay, Level & Position.
A zone is an area in the warehouse and it can have multiple Aisle. The individual else is divided into multiple Bays, that hold the bin or storage types. Each of the bays can have multiple levels, that is a vertical location on the bay from ground to top. A position is a location coordinate that indicates what is in the front vs in the back.
Example: Bin 00-02-09-01-01
The above bin is in zone 00, aisle 02, and on bay 09.
The bin is on level 01, one level above the ground and the position is 01, which is in the front.
