Enabling Bin Management Features
You can enable features for basic or advanced bin management, depending on your inventory requirements.
Prerequisites
Before you can enable features for Bin Management, make sure that you enable the Inventory feature. To use Advanced Bin/Inventory Management to track bins for lot or serialized items, make sure that you enable the Lot Tracking or Serialized Inventory features, respectively.
If you use SuiteScript in conjunction with the basic Bin Management feature, note the following. These scripts will no longer function after you enable the Advanced Bin / Numbered Inventory Management feature. To learn more, see Creating an Inventory Detail Subrecord Example.
Upgrading to Advanced Bin Management
After you enable Advanced Bin Management, any item that is lot or serial numbered and uses bins is not placed in a bin. These items must be manually reassigned to a designated bin using a bin putaway worksheet. To learn more, see Updating Bin Putaway Worksheets.
If you also use both the Lot Tracking and Serialized Inventory features, note the following. It is very important to perform a bin management upgrade immediately after you enable the Advanced Bin / Numbered Inventory Management feature.
You should update related SOAP web services code when you enable Advanced Bin/Numbered Inventory Management. To learn more, see Updating SOAP Web Services Code When Advanced Bin / Numbered Inventory Management is Enabled.
