Assigning Bin Codes to Purchase Document Lines

When you create a purchase document for a location that is set up to use bins but not directed put-away and pick, you can assign a bin code to the purchase document line to indicate that the item will either come from or be placed in that bin.  This can be done for purchase orders as well as purchase return orders.  The process to assign a bin code to a purchase document line is described below.  For simplicity, the example of a purchase order is used.

To Assign a Bin Code to a Purchase Document Line:

  1. On the purchase document, if the Bin Code field is not visible on the order line, click the purchase order line and then, on the menu bar, click View, Show Column to make the Bin Code field visible.

  2. Enter the line information as usual, and fill in the bin code.  To select a bin code from a list of bins in the location, click the AssistButton to the right of the Bin Code field.

If the item has a default bin assigned, the program will automatically fill in the Bin Code field with the item's default bin for that location when you enter the Location Code on the line.

Note

To facilitate the putting away or picking of items, you can print out the document lines with the bin code information by clicking the Print button on the purchase document.

 

  1. Complete the order and post it as usual.

 

During the posting, the program will create warehouse entries to record the item quantity in the bin.
