Enter Component Line - Selecting Bins and Quantities

If your company is configured for multiple bin locations and your userID allows you to edit bin locations, when you enter an item on the Enter Component Line screen, Micronet displays the Bin Locations and Quantities screen where you can select the bin(s) to allocate the stock from and the quantity from each bin.

Only bin locations that have been assigned to the item or have had the item receipted into them are available for picking of stock.

Technical Tip To access this screen: the Allow Multiple Bin Locations per Item field on the Inventory Configuration screen must be set to a value other than No and an Available Bins Display Order should be selected - refer to "Edit - Program - Inventory" the Allow Editing of Bin Locations field in your userID must be set to allow you to edit bin locations for Works Orders - refer to "Maintenance - Edit UserIDs - 1. Main".

Technical Tip This feature only applies to items that: are not serialised - each serial number in Micronet has its own bin location recorded against it. Therefore, when picking a serialised item, there is no need to select a bin location as it is already specified by the serial number. don’t have unit recognition - each unit of measurement processed in Micronet must also have its own bin location recorded against it.

To select bin locations and quantities:

1. Display the Enter Component Line screen.

Refer to "Enter WorksOrder Line - Components".

For components, the ordered and allocated quantities will each have two values:

• the component quantity required to make one item
• the component quantity required to fulfil the entire order.

2. Optionally, select EDIT | ENTER QTY BEFORE BINS.

When this option is checked, the Qty to Make One field on the component item can be entered before you enter bin location quantities. This makes it easier to enter the bin quantities as the total requirement is already calculated.

3. Enter an Item Number and press Enter.

Micronet displays the Bin Locations and Quantities screen. The Available Bins list displays the bins containing the item, the free stock, stock on hand and bin priority. In Micronet 2.8, this list also displays the minimum and maximum bin quantities.

4. In the Available Bins list, double click on the bin you want to allocate the stock from.

Micronet displays the Edit Bin Qty screen.

5. Enter a value for Qty Selected.

Enter the quantity to fulfil the entire order, not the quantity to make one.

This defaults to the remaining order amount or the available stock on hand, whichever is lowest.

6. Select the Accept button.

Micronet redisplays the Bin Locations and Quantities screen with the new allocation added to the Current Allocations list.

7. Continue to enter bin quantities until the Quantity Allocated equals the Quantity Ordered.

8. When you have finished, select the Accept button.

Micronet redisplays the Enter Component Line screen and updates the movement quantity with the quantity allocated from bins.
