Hi Stacey,

GP ‘Help’ has some pretty good information on this. Here’s what GP help states (you can get to this in GP by clicking on Cards >> Inventory >> Quantities/Sites >> Bins button >> Help >> About this window):

You can use the Item Site Default Bins window to specify the default bins for an item-site combination. You also can specify a priority, minimum quantity, and maximum quantity for each bin at an item-site combination. You can view the priority, minimum quantity, and maximum quantity assigned to a bin in the Site/Bins Lookup window.

You can use bin priority to help decide which bins that items should be picked from and which bins that items should be placed into. The bin you use most often can be assigned the highest priority. When receiving goods, you can use the Site/Bins Lookup window to view the priority and the quantity on hand for the bin to decide where to place the goods, based on bin capacity and bin priority. When picking goods for a shipment or an inventory transfer, you can use the Site/Bins Lookup window to view the priority and quantity available for the bin to help decide where to pick the goods from, based on product availability and bin priority.

To specify default bins for an item-site combination:

Open the Item Quantities Maintenance window.
(Cards >> Inventory >> Quantities/Sites)

Enter or select an item.

Enter or select a site.

Choose Bins to open the Item Site Default Bins window.

Enter or select a bin for each type of transaction.

Here’s more information about how the defaults work in this window:

Default bin	How it’s used
Purchase Receipts	This bin is used for receipts of purchased items for the item-site combination.
Purchase Returns	This bin is used for items to be returned to the vendor for the item-site combination.
Sales Order Fulfillment	This bin is used for items for fulfilling sales orders for the item-site combination.
Sales Returns	This bin is used for items returned by customers for the item-site combination.
Assembly Receipts	This bin is used to receive items assembled for the item-site combination.
Material Issues	This bin is used to draw materials from for the item-site combination.
Manufacturing Receipts	This bin is used to receive items built from manufacturing orders for the item-site combination.
Repair Issues	This bin is used to draw materials from for the item-site combination.

You can assign a priority to a bin. You can assign priorities to an unlimited number of bins—1 being the highest priority. To add a priority, press TAB to move to the next line in the scrolling window. To remove the bin from a priority, delete the bin from the scrolling window.

You can assign a different priority to a bin at a different item-site combination, but you can’t assign a bin to multiple priorities for same item-site combination. For example, if bin A1S4 for item 1 at the warehouse site is assigned to priority 1, you can’t assign bin A1S4 to a different priority for item 1 at the warehouse site.

Hope this helps!
