updating bin codes linked to old purchase orders

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi,

The following issue has been bugging me for quite a while. Let me start at the beginning:

When creating a purchase order, a bin code is assigned to the material ordered. While waiting for the 

material the bin code may be changed due to a lack of space. When the material arrives it is processed via warehouse receipts.

It is then automatically assigned to the bin code that was relevant when the purchase order was placed.

As the bin code was changed after the purchase order was placed, the materials are now in the wrong (outdated)

bin code.

So my question is: How can I update the bin codes linked to purchase orders?

Is there a way to automatically update the bin codes linked to outstanding purchase orders if a bin code is changed?

Thank you!

    Hi @Moritz Welz,

    What do you mean under "the bin code may be changed due to a lack of space."? As I understand, you don't change a bin code in purchase order but where?.. It's great mystery for me for now.

    Hello,

    If that is the case then it would be better not to specify the bin on the Purchase Order. Let the put-away process handle that, use default/fixed bins, or let the warehouse determine the correct bin when receiving.

    Hi Mortiz,

    one of the reasons of using the Warehouse Receipt is to define the Bin Code you want to put goods away to (if you don't use put-aways).

    However, if you don't want system to suggest the Bin Code, you can set the 'Default Bin Selection' field on the Location Card to Blank (assuming you use Bin Mandatory but not the Directed put-away).

    Hope that helps.
