A bin location is defined as the smallest section of the warehouse in which an item of inventory will not be lost. The ability to efficiently locate inventory within a warehouse, facilitates a number of key business processes from picking through to quality segregation. In this scenario you will see how the bin location function has been embedded in the goods receipt process and in the order fulfillment process (pick and delivery). OEC Computers is going to receive 50 SD memory cards from his supplier CTI Computers. The received items will be allocated to the dedicated bin locations for this item. Following, the customer Parameter Technology orders 30 SD memory cards. In the fulfillment process, the corresponding quantities will be picked from the respective bin locations and delivered to this customer.
