Advanced Bin/Numbered Inventory Management: How preferred bins should work in this new feature?

1. For Lot Numbered (LN) Item withoutPreferred Bin (provided a Lot Number is specified on the Sales Order):

- Any Bin Number associated withthe LN with sufficient Available Quantity to satisfy the order is selected bydefault.

- If there are no sufficientavailable quantities on any single Bin number, you need to manually pickmultiple bins to meet the requirement of the order.

2. For Lot Numbered (LN) Item with Preferred Bin (provided a Lot Number isspecified on the Sales Order):

- If the Preferred Bin Number hassufficient quantity available to satisfy the order, the Preferred Bin isselected by default.

- If the Preferred Bin Number hasinsufficient quantity available to satisfy the order, the system will look forother Bin Numbers with sufficient quantity available and will select the otherbin by default, provided the bin is associated to the LN selected in the SO.

- If there are no sufficientavailable quantities on any single Bin number, you need to manually pickmultiple bins to meet the requirement of the order.

 

For Serial Numbered (SN) Items, thebin associated to the Serial Number selected on the Sales Order will be used,whether or not your preferred bin has sufficient quantity available to satisfythe order. This is because Serial Numbers are now associated to a specific bin(made via Bin Putaway Worksheet for existing quantities) hence, you can nolonger select any bins other than the one associated to the SN.

 

Consequently, if you haven'tselected a Lot Number or a Serial Number in your Sales Order, you need tomanually pick each bin on the Item Fulfillment stage after selecting the LN/SN.
