    RE: Bin

    Hi,

    The smallest available unit of space in a warehouse is called the storage bin. It describes the position in the warehouse where the goods is or can be stored.

    A coordinate system is used to locate a storage bin.

    Also have look: docs.microsoft.com/.../warehouse-how-to-set-up-locations-to-use-bins

    Best Regards,

    Paras Mehan

    Hi JS Shivalik,

    Below is the definition from NAV help - hope this is helpful to you.

    Bin and Bin Content

    A bin is a storage device designed to contain discrete parts. It is the smallest container unit in Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Item quantities in bins are referred to as bin content. A lookup from the Item field or Bin Code field on any warehouse-related document line displays the calculated availability of the item in the bin.

    A bin content can be given a property of Fixed, Dedicated, or Default to define how the bin content can be used. Bins with none of these properties are referred to as floating bins.

    A fixed bin holds items that are assigned to the bin code in question. The Fixed bin property ensures that even if the bin content is momentarily emptied, the bin content does not disappear, and the bin is therefore selected again as soon as it has been replenished.

    A dedicated bin holds bin content that can only be picked for the dedicated resource, such as a machine center, that uses the bin in question. Other non-pick content, such as quantities outbound on a shipment posting, can still be consumed from a dedicated bin. Only bin content considered by the Create Pick algorithm is protected in a dedicated bin.

    The Default bin property is used by the system to suggest bins for warehouse activities. At WMS locations, the Default bin property is not used. At locations where bins are required, the property is used in inbound flows to specify where to place items. In outbound flows, the property is used to specify where to take items from.
