I want to restrict the BC to store item quantities greater than specified bin qty in warehouse management, for this i used max qty in item bin contents , but system still allowed to store item qty greater than max qty. so how I can achieve the desire result, means not allow to store qty greater than capacity limit of bin while register warehouse put-away entry against warehouse entries.

Hi,

Max Qty is used in the put-away and bin replenishment processes to prevent bins from overflowing. Otherwise not.

Happy New Year,

Let me expand further what is possible with Bin Contents. When you create a Bin you can setup various information about the Bin, like:

Warehouse Class Type

Min. Qty.

Max. Qty.

Fixed

Cross-Dock Bin

Default

Dedicated

Bin Ranking

Now using my screen shot if I tried to put Item LS-75, as a put-away, into Bin W-01-0002, I would get an error message like this:

Again, I am using Advanced Warehouse with Bin Mandatory. One more piece of information that helps with Bin capacity. On the Item Unit of Measure page, there is Cubage field. If you set this up, this field contains the volume (cubage) of one item unit in the unit of measure in the Code field. The program uses the cubage during all processes that involve placing items in a bin: put-away, movements, receipts, shipments, picks and adjustments. The program checks the sum of the cubage of the items being put away and the items already in the bin against the maximum cubage that can fit into a bin, according to the bin capacity policy you selected on the location card.

The cubage is calculated from the width, length and height parameters against the items unit of measure, and is predominantly used in WMS to ascertain if putaways can be placed in a bin and then suggest the correct bin.

I hope this helps to understanding what is possible with Bins and WMS.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi,

Thanks for such a handy reply, but I am still stuck on one issue, if I specified cubage volume on bin, then system give alert message of capacity limit on put-away document, that is fine for me.

Consider this scenario e.g.

Bin (cubage) volume= 1000

item (cubage) Volume per PCS =100

Item bin content, Max Qty = 2

if I put away 11 pcs, then system will give alert for (cubage) capacity warning that Bin has 1000 (cubage) volume and exceeds by 100 (cubage) vol. t

But my observation is that why system not restrict on basis of Max Qty because I only want to put-away 2 Pcs on particular Bin, I only want to allow 200 (cubage) volume for this item. Rest of 800 (cubage) volume want to assign to second item in this Bin.

screen shot attached.

Hi,

May be then you have missed the setup on location card. Check on Location card WHITE in bin policies tab the field "Bin Capacity Policy"
