Item Warehouse Physical Bin Entry

 

Keep a record of actual physical area where an Item is lying in a particular location of a Warehouse through this option. IMMS allows the user to enter locations of various Items in various Warehouses. An Item can not be allocated same location for more than once. But if the same Item is lying in more than one location of a Warehouse, IMMS allows to specify the default location for that Item. Default location is the first place where the user would look for that Item.

 

The related report helps the user to physically locate an Item in a Warehouse much faster.
