Using online help

This Help page allows you to search and select a zone/bin number and transfer the details to the field where it is required.

You can search for a zone/bin number by specifying the zone number, zone description, bin number and bin description as the filter criteria. Based on the specified search criteria, the system retrieves all the zones and bins If no item/variant details are entered in the main page, then the system retrieves all zones and bins. The warehouse must exist in the login OU and must be of “Normal” storage type.

If adjustment qty field is not blank, then the system checks whether the adjustment quantity is positive or negative. If adjustment quantity is negative, then the system retrieves only those zone/bin combinations for which the stock exists in the warehouse. Else, the system checks whether the storage allocation is mandatory. If the storage rule is specified as “Only At”, then the system retrieves only those zone/bin combinations in which the item to be stocked is defined. The selected zone/bin number is transferred to the required page when the OK button is executed.
