Bin Transfer via Cart

If you set up Inbound Staging bin types as carts, you can use them for bin transfers. Before you store items to another bin location, you can temporarily load them onto a cart. You can also transfer items from one cart to another.

On the app, you can perform these tasks through the Bin Transfer Via Cart process. Using the same mobile process, you can transfer the items from the cart onto their new bin location for storage.

Depending on the task you want to complete, see the following procedures:

• Loading Items onto Carts

• Transferring Items from Carts into Bins
