Maintaining the Bin Change Header

When you create a new bin change batch, Micronet displays the Create Bin Change Batch screen where you enter the main (header) details for the batch, including selecting the items to be included in the batch.

To access and maintain the bin change batch header details:

Create a new bin change batch.

Refer to "Creating a New Bin Change Batch".

Alternatively, load an existing bin change batch and select EDIT | HEADER from the Change Bin Locations screen.

Refer to "Recalling a Bin Change Batch".

Micronet displays the Create Bin Change Batch screen.

Complete the following fields:

	Field	Value
	Description	Micronet displays the batch description.
	User Id	Micronet displays the user ID of the person making these changes.
	Process Type	Select the action you want to perform: Change Bin Locations – change bin locations in the selected warehouse Delete Empty Bins – delete empty bins for the selected warehouse (see also "Automatic Deletion of Empty Bins").
	Processing Order	Select the sequence in which items are to be processed – in either Item Number order or Bin Number order.
	Starting / Ending Item	If you want to change bin locations for a range of items, enter the starting and ending item numbers.

Technical Tip

You must select an item range if you are deleting empty bins. Only empty bins in the batch (within the range) will be deleted.

Update Detail Files

Select the files in which the bin changes are to be updated. Options are:

No – change bin locations for stock files only
Yes – change bin locations for stock files and outstanding order files (i.e. picking slips, receipts, transfers, etc.).

If you are creating a new batch and you have selected items to be processed, select CREATE ITEMS.

Micronet scans the relevant files and compiles a list of items and locations based on your selection in the Processing Order, Starting Item and Ending Item fields.

Select PROCEED or press F2.

Micronet redisplays the Change Bin Locations screen showing the items to be moved at the bottom of the screen.

To add, edit or delete the items in the bin change batch, see "Maintaining Bin Change Lines"
To manage the completed bin change batch, see "Managing Completed Bin Change Batches".
