Help on Warehouse - Bin

This page allows you to select a bin in the zone belonging to a warehouse. At the time of issuing a particular part or variant from the warehouse, the availability of the part will first be checked in the various zones, and then in the bins based on the priority assigned.

You can retrieve the bin details by specifying the search criteria such as warehouse number, description, warehouse type, category, zone number and bin number.
