Good afternoon

We would like to create locations and bins to allocate some of our resources. Is this possible without using a full warehouse add-on? 

Thnak you in advance!

    Yes, I think it is possible.

    You can mange Bins or Zones for location in Business Central.

    And there are additional settings in Location Card.

    Aurelio,

    Adding to other replies... This is 100% possible in BC Warehousing deploying basic processing and setting up Bins and having Bin Mandatory. As Ben wrote in his reply their are other features you can deploy as you add more advanced functionality. Something to consider.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    You can.  Locations can be physical buildings or virtual warehouses (like a parts cage).  Each Location can have its own level of warehousing requirements.  We encourage our clients to always use Locations and Bins, so the option is there in the future.  Even if you only have one Location and Bin, you can make those values default where needed so it doesn't change the data administration.

    The main reason for having the additional warehousing turned on is for separation of duties.  One person handles receiving material off the truck, another person moves the received material into the warehouse.  If the same person is doing both activities, there is no reason to separate data entry.

    Be aware, you mentioned "Zones" which are only available in Directed Pick and Put-Away.  Before deciding on your settings, it would be good to discuss your needs with your partner and have them walk through the different warehousing options available.

    We just create an extra warehouse, locations and bins for that warehouse only?

    Yes it is. You can use locations and bins and still handle all item transactions on sales orders and purchase orders with out using any warehouse activities.
