Multiple Bin Locations

Hi all,

I'm searching for a way to have multiple bin locations in RMS. Our business requires that a single warehouse have more than one location for products of the same type i.e. the same itemlookupcode can be located in bin AA01, AE01 and XY03. These locations are primary, secondary and tertiary holding bins for products. I am familiar with Retail Realms Multiple Location product however, it doesn't satisfy our requirements. Does anyone know of an alternative or a potential workaround?

Thanks in advance... KJ

If you are trying to keep track of Quantity in each Bin, then you would set up 3 locations (primary, secondary and tertiary) in the Multi-Location solution. Each location would have 1 Bin Location per product.

The BinLocation field is just a text field, so you could enter a comma separated list of bins into it - "1A, 2B, 3C". This would tell you that your items are spread across the 3 bins, but not HOW MANY are in each bin.

Multi Location is the only solution I know of that will even begin to address managing multiple Counts for a single Item.

Thanks for the info Glenn. I definitely want to know how many items are in each bin location, so i may end up writting a plugin to handle the bin location aspect of RMS.

Thanks again,
