Initial Loading of Bins

jflynn

I have a new company that I need to load inventory to. One location does not use bins, the other two do. How do I load my initial inventory in the locations that have bins. I have successfully created the item, bin, and bin content records. I can post to the inventory journal the on hand quantity for the location that does not use bins.

Any and all pointers would be greatly appreciated.

You do not need to create "bin content records". Just fill the journal as for the non-bin location, only fill in the bin field with the correct bin. It will b posted correctly with all what you need...

I did try to load Item Journals with the Bin Column populated. This did not work for me.

Here are the steps I took to get the desired results.

Created entries in the Item Journal for all locations that were not using Warehousing, then Posted.

Created Bin and Bin Content records for locations using Warehousing.

Created entries in the Warehouse Item Journal for all locations that were using Warehousing, then Registered.

Went back to the Item Journal and ran the Calculate Whse. Adjustment function, then posted the results.
