SD-S Warehouse Control Defaults

Enable Warehouse Control (Y/N/Q)

Y enables the assignment of multiple Bin Locations per item. Q means that not only can multiple Bins be assigned per item but on hand quantity by bin will also be tracked. This feature can also be enabled or disabled by item but to enable it for any item, it must be enabled here. When this is set to Y or Q for the first time, the Bin Location in IN-B will be set up as the default Bin for each item and (for Q) the current on hand quantity will be assigned to that bin. Use WC-C Assign Bin Locations to Items to add or import additional Bin Locations.

Use Controlled Bin Locations (Y/N)

Once Warehouse Control is enabled, if this is set to N then users can create new Bin Locations on the fly as parts are received into stock in PO-C Receive Purchase Orders and WO-I Enter Finished Production. If it is set to N, then users can only assign items to pre-existing Bin Locations defined in WC-A Enter Warehouse Bin Locations

Allow Blank Bin Location (Y/N)

Once Warehouse Control is enabled, if this is set to N then all items coded for Warehouse Control will require a named bin location. If it is set to Y then even if Warehouse Control is enabled, a blank Bin Location will be allowed.

Blank Bin Name

The system uses O BIN LOC?as the default name of the Bin Location for unassigned items but you can rename it.

Delete Zero Qty Bins (Y/N)?

If set to Y, once the on hand in a Bin is 0, the bin will be deleted for the particular item if this is set to Y. The Master Bin Loc will still be available as a controlled bin location for other items to be placed in that location.

Prompt for Bins for EFP Backflush (Y/N)?

Indicate whether components processed by backflushing at WO-I Enter Finished Production should be prompted for the bin when posting Bin transactions. Y means Prompt for Bin for each component.and N means use the default bin.
