IC15.1 - Storage Codes

Use this form to set up bin storage codes. Bin storage codes define bin
storage limitations in terms of size, weight, and quantity. This form is
optional if you use bin control in the Inventory Control system. You can
assign storage codes to bins in IC15.2 (Bins) and to inventory items in IC12.1
(Item Location) or IC10.2 (Item Master and Location). If you try to put an
item receipt into a bin that is not assigned to the item's storage code, a
warning message displays. You can inquire on bins by storage code using IC51.1
(Available Space By Bin) to determine where there is sufficient room to store
an item.

IC15.2 - Bins

Use this form to set up bins. Bins represent a level of storage that exists
within a company location such as areas, racks, shelves, and rows. Bin
tracking is optional in the Inventory Control system and is assigned at the
item location level in IC12.1 (Item Location) or IC10.2 (Item Master and
Location). If an item is set up for bin tracking, a bin must be specified for
every transaction, such as issues or receipts, which you enter for the item.
If you set up bins, you can optionally assign bin usage types and storage
codes. Bin usage types, defined in IC01.3, restrict issues and receipts.
Storage codes, defined in IC15.1, define physical bin limitations. After bins
are set up, you can optionally set up bin groups in IC15.3 (Bin Groups).

IC15.3 - Bin Groups

Use this form to set up bin groups. Bins must be set up in IC15.2 (Bins)
before you can set up bin groups. Use bin groups to group certain bins
together. Different bin groups can be processed at various times for physical
inventory counting in the IC70.1 (Select IDs) Class, Bin form.

The system assigns sequence numbers as you enter bins to a bin group.
Sequence numbers facilitate physical inventory counting. To insert a new bin
and resequence lines, select the form action X and type the number of lines
that are to be inserted.
