This pictures shows how bins and locations fit in with the structure of your company in Kenandy:

Kenandy Mobile uses tracked bins to guide putaway of finished goods.

Before you set up bins, you must have the following set up:

• Facilities
• Locations
  

Important: The following settings for bins are set up on the Location page and can't be changed on the Bin page:

• Bin Tracked
• Track Bin Capacity
• Mixed Bins Allowed

To learn more about setting up locations that use bins, see Locations.

Add bins to Kenandy when:

• You're reorganizing the physical space in a facility and need Kenandy to reflect the changes
• You've got a new facility and locations

To add a bin, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Bins page, and click New.
   
2. Enter the following information: 
   • Location: The location in which this bin exists.
   • Bin: The name of this bin.

     Note: It's a good idea to give each bin in your company a unique name, even if you have standard numbering systems in each of your locations. For example, name bins in your stock location STO-01 and in your shipping location SHI-01.

   • (Optional) Description
   • Max Capacity
   • Packaging UOM
3. Click Save.

Kenandy creates the bin.

In the SKIDs section, you can see the following information about what's in a bin:

• Item name
• Quantity of items by packaging UOM
• Packaging UOM
• Container item for each item, such as cases or pallets
