Creating Warehouse Locations
For each of your warehouses, you can create a location record and associate it with your items. You can track inventory and transactions for these items by location.
When creating a warehouse location record, you can set it to use or not use bins.
-
For locations that use bins, items follow the standard bin process flow for creating waves and mobile processing tasks. You can create zones for these locations and associate both the location and zone with a bin. For more information about warehouse zones, see Creating Zones.
-
For locations with no bins, you cannot process bin-related tasks, such as bin transfers, putaway, and replenishment. You can associate these locations with item stock locations. For information about stock locations, see Creating Item Stock Locations.
-
You can associate locations that use and do not use bins with items that use and do not use bins. However, nonbin items for locations that use bins cannot be released in a wave transaction. Also, locations with no bins always follow the standard nonbin process flow regardless of the Use Bins setting of the item. See Creating Items for NetSuite WMS.
