Storage bins catalog

<< Prev   Next >>

A storage bin is a unit of space in a storage facility, such as warehouse. Storage bins determine the exact locations where certain inventory can be stored. This helps warehouse workers accurately place and easily pick inventory.

In 1C:Drive, you can specify a storage bin when you register sales, purchase, production, and warehouse operations. For example, an inventory transfer requires that you specify a target storage location. Only storage facilities of the following types can have storage bins:

• Warehouses
• Departments

To manage storage bins, use the Storage bins catalog. It is available if the Inventory accounting by storage bins checkbox is selected in Settings > Purchases/Warehouse > Warehouse accounting.

In the Storage bins catalog, you can do the following:

• View storage bins
• Create storage bins
• Edit storage bin details

Viewing storage bins

To view storage bins:

• Warehouse > Catalogs > Storage bins.

The Storage bins list columns can vary depending on the list settings. By default, the following column is available:

• Description. A storage bin name or short description.

To quickly find a storage bin:

• Sort the catalog by column by clicking a column header. To change the sorting order, click the header again.
• Search the catalog using the search field above the list.

To view the storage bin details:

• In the Storage bins catalog, double-click a storage bin line.

Creating storage bins

You can create a storage bin from one of the following:

These catalogs provide different lists of storage bins:

• The Storage bins catalog lists storage bins of all warehouses.

   Field	Description
   Department or warehouse	A warehouse or department where a storage bin is located. It is automatically filled in if you create a storage bin from the Warehouses catalog. You can edit it.
