Please do not update the Bin Mandatory flag via Config. Package without Validation. That will cause a bigger headache. Microsoft added a process several versions back for converting a non-Warehousing Location to a Location with Warehousing features.

I strongly recommend you try out this process in a SANDBOX first, NOT in your Production environment.

On your Location List, under the Actions Menu > Other is a choice for "Convert to Warehouse Location".

It is going to run through a bunch of verification questions and big, long messages. I strongly encourage you to read through all of it to fully understand the process.

Here is the Microsoft guide on this process: Convert Existing Locations to Warehouse Locations - Business Central | Microsoft Learn

Hope this helps you make the move to Bins.

P.S. It may be simpler to create a new Location, set it as Bin Mandatory and move all your inventory over. That is always an option.

Hi, regarding Bin mandatory, I hope the following information can give you some tips.

How to set up the Location mandatory and Bin mandatory in Dynamics 365 Business Central

https://yzhums.com/33037/

As for your current error, it is recommended that you create a new location and set it again.

The following method is not highly recommended because it will cause data inconsistency.

In fact, you can disable the Validate Field of this field from the Configuration Package, so that this error will not be caused when importing from Excel.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
