Bin Management

You can use bins in NetSuite Point of Sale (NSPOS) to identify places in your warehouse where you store inventory items. Bins are also useful for items that sell in bulk. Bins help you track on-hand quantities, assist with organizing receiving items and simplify picking items to fulfill orders.

Before you can use bins in transactions, you must associate all items with a corresponding Bin Number. You can use a default Bin Number for non-bin items. The bin feature in NetSuite POS does not allow using bins with serialized and lot numbered items.

Important:

If one or more items sold in a transaction do not have an assigned Bin Number, the entire NetSuite POS transaction will fail to post to NetSuite.

Requirements and Guidelines

NetSuite POS locations must be mapped with a default Bin Number.
All items must be assigned to Bin Numbers.
You can assign Bin Numbers to items using saved searches or mass updates.
Work with your account manager prior to implementing bins.
If access to the options described in the links below is denied or does not appear in NetSuite, your account may not be set up to use bins. Your account manager can assist with gaining access.

For setup procedures and more information, sign into NetSuite and see Bin Management.
