Bins without Multibin

Posted on by JE-20081519-0 4,045
Hi:
 
An end user says that they use bins.  Item Quantities Maintenance shows this for some items.
 
But, I don't see any evidence where the Multibin functionality is being used.
 
I simply see that the Bin field in Item Quantities Maintenance has this field filled in.
 
How can you tell if an end users is or isn't using Multibins?
 
And, what's the difference between doing so and not?
 
Thanks!
 
John

    You can check to see if they have it enabled in Setup > Inventory > Inventory Control.

    I call the bins on the Item Quantities Maintenance the "pointer bins" .  They are a text field (no validation) that can be printed on documents or smartlists.   Useful for recording the locations of products if they are kept in static locations.    we have a lot of customers using this when they aren't ready for full GP multi-bin. 
     
    Hope that helps.

    PS - the GP multi-bin would require every inventory transaction to select a bin (or have a default bin auto-selected).   The inventory will then have bin quantities, and items can be kept in any (or all) bins.
