Overview of Inventory Bins

You can track inventory for each of your company's offices using inventory bins (also referred to as office bins). Each inventory bin represents a physical location. Depending on the type of bin, the location could be a shelf in a warehouse, a customer service desk, a truck in-transit, etc.

Inventory Bins

To add and view bins associated with a specific office, navigate from Main Menu > Internal > Offices > select the desired office > Office Details tab > Inventory Bins tab:

1. General Info

You can edit the office's inventory bins, updating the Bin Name, Abbr, and Type fields. You can also create new bins by scrolling down to the bottom of the inventory bin list, then entering details on the blank line there.

2. Bin Designations

These flags represent optional groupings you can assign to each bin. These groups allow you to configure additional functionality for how aACE handles the items contained in each specific bin (e.g. tracking returned items or items that are being transferred to other locations). 

• Default — aACE recognizes the respective bin as the selected office's default inventory bin.
• Non-Net — Items held in non-net bins do not have an inventory value in aACE. This means that aACE withholds these items from their respective LIC's available inventory balance.
• Clearing — Used for receiving returned inventory.
  Note: If you don't have a designated clearing bin, returned inventory will be automatically allocated to each LIC's default bin.
• Transit — Used to track items while they are being transferred from one location to another (e.g. a truck transporting inventoried items).
