Setup - Bins

Choose Setup - Store - Item - Bins from the Main Menu. This will open the Bin Setup form. Bins are used for Stock Taking and Ordering purposes. Stock and Order sheets are built by Location and Bin range. Bins can really be translated to shelving areas for practical purposes.  This will allow you to print a count sheet and move logically down a row of shelves when counting  stock. If using both Locations and Bins to setup your store layout becomes overly complex and tough to maintain, it could be easier to set 'Location' on all items to 1, then use just the Bin system to setup the sort order for count sheets and stock re-orders. To select a Bin to edit, click on it's record on the left hand side of the form. Click on the 'Save' button to Save the record.  To add a new record, click on the 'New' button and fill in the new Bin number and description.  Click 'Save' to save the new record. To remove a Bin  click on the 'Delete' button.  If the parent Bin contains any 'child' items, the operation will not be allowed. Here is an explanation of the columns (field names) in the table. Bin - Use a unique, non zero number for the ID. The Bin Numbers can be any size and need not be sequential - Description - Give the Bin a unique description that will allow you to identify it at a glance. Purchase Group ID - Bins can be grouped together for ordering purposes. Bin In Store ID - Put the Store Number in this field. This allows different Bin setups and reporting for different Stores. To use the same Bin Table for all stores, use a Zero (0) in this field.
