Bin - containers within a Location. Two typical usage:
- Bins represent shelves or pallets or something like that. In this case you need the Pick because it means a sales line will have an 1:N relationship to the Bins and it's the Pick which resolves this relationship (multiple pick lines to one sales line)
- Bins represent "rooms" within a Location. I.e. a Location is a given site and a Bin is a Material Warehouse, Shop Floor, Finished Products Warehouse. (Why not have them as Locations? Because then Requisitioning or Planning Worksheets goes out of the window.) In this case no need for Picks.
Registering a pick can be mapped to the physical process of collecting the goods from the shelves and putting them into a shipping zone for a last checking and counting before shipping.
