Column Description
Bin

ADJUST bins are created by the Inventory Period End program when the total on hand quantity of the bins for a warehouse do not match the on hand quantity stored against the warehouse in the multiple bins for that warehouse/stock code.

When an adjust bin is found, the quantity in the bin should be transferred to the correct bin (see Inventory Movements) and then the ADJUST bin should be deleted (see Inventory Bin Maintenance).

Refer to Multiple bins for additional information.

Ship quantity This indicates the quantity reserved for sales order lines which have a quantity to ship. If there are no open sales orders for these items, then the Balance function of the Order Purge program clears the ship quantity.
Notes This displays any notes assigned to the bin.
Last receipt This indicates the date on which the last inventory receipt was processed for the bin.
On hold This indicates whether the bin is on hold.
Reason for hold This indicates the reason for the bin being on hold.

Notes and warnings

Restricted maintenance

  • You cannot maintain information displayed in this list view if access to the program is set to Browse only but access to the corresponding maintenance program is not allowed (see Security Access).

Program Access

  • You can only access this program if you enabled the Multiple bins setup option (Inventory Setup).

  • This program can be accessed by selecting the Multiple Bins option from the Query menu of the Inventory Query program.

Deletion considerations

  • You can only delete a bin if it has a zero quantity on hand and there has been no movement against the bin for three months.

  • You cannot delete the default bin in a warehouse that does not require multiple bins.

Bin display considerations

  • Not all bins are displayed by default. For example: When you add a new bin, it is not displayed unless you select to display bins with a zero quantity on hand (Include option).

  • By default, multiple bins are sequenced according to the Multiple bin browse default sequence defined (Inventory Setup). You can use the Sequence option to change the order in which the information is displayed in the list view.

  • If you enabled the Multiple bins setup option (Inventory Setup) but have not selected the Multiple bins in use option against the warehouse (Browse on Warehouses) then the details of the default bin are displayed. The default bin is created with the same code as the warehouse code in which it was created.

  • When browsing on bins from another program, if the bin you select is not the bin returned to the field of the calling program, then this may be because you sorted the list view on a column. The sorting puts the records in the incorrect position (i.e. line number) which could cause random records to be selected.
