​How to set up Bin Zones for Bin Lots
​

To create Bin Lots, a Bin Zone will be designated to require Pallet Tag scanning. When this is changed, any movement of a pallet in or out of the Bin Zone will require a scan of the pallet tag.
​
1. Using the Universal Search, navigate to the Bin Zones Table.
​
2. Arrow into the Bin Zone that will monitor and create Bin Lots.
​
3. Edit the "Track Bin Lots" field from "0) No: Do Not Track" to either "1) Yes: Scanning Required" or "2) Yes: Scanning Optional".
​
4. Click the "Save Icon".

5. Protip: To utilize Bin Lots to their full potential, turn on System Setting 3241: Palletize based on Bin Lot Inventory.This will allow palletization to respect individual bin lot quantities when processing invoices to pick, leading to better date rotation and more accurate purchase trans assignment on invoices.
