Assigning Bin Codes to Sales Document Lines

When you create a sales 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 sales document line to indicate that the item will either come from or be placed in that bin.  This can be done for sales orders as well as sales return orders.  The process to assign a bin code to a sales document line is described below.  For simplicity, the example of a sales order is used.

To assign a bin code to a sales document line:

  1. On the sales document, if the Bin Code field is not visible on the order line, click the purchase order line and use View, Show Column to make the Bin Code 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 Bin Code will automatically fill in 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 sales 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.
