How to suggest bin movements

The program includes a feature that suggests bin movements for different types of activities in the bin reclassification journal. Put-away movements are suggested based on the contents of a particular bin or bin type. Pick movements are suggested by looking at pending shipments and production orders.

Notes Although the movements suggested in the bin reclassification journal are referred to as "put-aways" and "picks," these terms simply describe the types of movements suggested. You cannot create separate put-away and pick documents from this page.

Steps

  1. In the search box, enter Bin Reclass. Journal, and then choose the related link.

  2. On the Actions tab, in the Functions group, choose the type of bin movement you want to suggest. The relevant request form opens.

  3. On the Item FastTab, set filters to select items by number and/or item category.

    If you are suggesting pick movements for shipments, use the Warehouse Request FastTab to set filters to select source documents by type and number.

  4. On the Options FastTab, enter the location for which you want to suggest bin movements in the Location Code field.

  5. Select the Suggest Bins field (for put-aways) or the Suggest Picks field (for picks) if you want the system to suggest storage bins for movement.

  6. Select the Generate Journal Lines field if you want the program to automatically populate the bin reclassification journal with the suggested bins.

    If you are suggesting pick movements for shipments, the Generate Journal Lines field is an option field from which you can select the method by which journal lines are created.

  7. Choose Print or Preview to run the report.

When the report is finished, the items selected for movement are listed in the bin reclassification journal.
