Creating a WIP Bin for Manufacturing Mobile

If you use Manufacturing Mobile with Warehouse Management, you can pick more than the standard work order BOM quantity in the WMS app.

The following work orders support over-picking:

WIP work orders with routing

For more information, see WIP Work Orders with Routing.
Both WIP and non-WIP work orders with work centers assigned.

To assign your work order a work center, see Creating a Manufacturing Mobile Work Order.

To enable over-picking through a mobile device, you must configure the following for the supported work orders:

Follow this procedure to create a WIP bin for Manufacturing Mobile.

Go to Lists > Supply Chain > Bins > New.
On the Bin page, enter a Bin Number or code to help identify or locate the bin in your warehouse.

For example, you want to create a bin numbering nomenclature that uses aisle, pallet position, and level in the format aisle-pallet position-level.

You can name the bin A1-01-01 for the first aisle, first pallet position, and first level.
To stage the quantity in a WIP bin, select WIP as the bin Type.
Select the warehouse Location of this bin.

You cannot change the location after you save the bin record.
To use the WIP bin to stage the picked component items, including the excess quantity, check the Use Bin in Manufacturing Mobile box.

During a WMS inventory transfer process, you can also transfer items to and from this WIP bin.

Note:
To enable material picking and staging capabilities, you must check this box for new and existing Manufacturing Mobile work center staging bin records.

To update an existing Manufacturing Mobile work center staging bin record, go to Lists > Supply Chain > Bins. Beside the Bin Number for a staging (WIP) bin assigned to a work center, click Edit. Check the Use Bin in Manufacturing Mobile box, and then click Save.
(Optional) To set other bin preferences on the bin record, see Creating Bin Locations or Carts.
Click Save.
