Basic Bin Management
Basic Bin Management enables you to track regular, non-numbered inventory by associating them with bins in your location. When you add items to an order, you can specify the bins from which items should be picked. On item receipts, you can choose the bins in which you want to store received items. By specifying bin locations on these transactions, warehouse operators know where to pick items from and where to put them away.
For more information, see Bin Management.
