Bin Maintenance

You can use the Change Bin Locations program to change the bin location details for selected items. This allows you to quickly fix incorrect bin locations. You create the bin changes in a batch that can be reviewed and amended before processing. A batch can contain a single item or multiple items.

Warning While you can setup a change batch in advance, the changes should not be processed while users are logged in and using the system.

1. Select MAINTENANCE | ITEM MAINTENANCE | BIN LOCATION MAINTENANCE | CHANGE BIN LOCATIONS.

Micronet displays the Change Bin Locations screen.

2. Enter a Description for the bin change batch and select the Warehouse containing the bin locations to be changed, then press Enter.

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.

3. In the Process Type field, make sure that Change Bin Locations is selected.
