EALENT / ENGINEERING NOTE

Pairing item codes with bin locations

Keep item identity independent of storage location and record every movement.

Engineering concept illustration
/ 01

Define identifiers

A part code identifies an item. A bin code identifies a place. Plan for the same component to be held in several bins.

/ 02

Record movements

Capture source, destination and quantity for each move. Map the scan to its document event so discrepancies can be investigated.

/ 03

Handle discrepancies

Agree who reviews discrepancies and what evidence permits a correction before setting the WMS-to-ERP sync point.
