Inventory on non standard bin-locations
The Inventory on non standard bin-locations report shows inventory that is stored somewhere other than the product's standard bin location. Use it to keep your pick locations tidy: it tells you which stock should be moved back to its usual place, or whose standard bin location needs updating.
Open it from the sidebar: Reporting › Inventory on non standard bin-locations.
Background: standard bin locations
For each product you can set a standard bin location per warehouse location, in the product's warehousing details (see Product details). It is the place where the product is normally stored and picked. Stock can still end up elsewhere: on an overflow or bulk location, on a receiving location after inbound, or simply put away on the wrong shelf.
This report compares, for every unit in stock, the bin location it is on with the product's standard bin location in that warehouse.
What is included
A row appears when all of the following are true:
- the product has a standard bin location set for the warehouse location the stock is in;
- the stock is on a bin location, and that bin location is a different bin location than the standard one;
- the stock is not retired (no longer in stock) or expected (not yet received);
- the location is one you have access to and the product belongs to an account you have access to.
Not included:
- products without a standard bin location for that warehouse location;
- stock that is not on any bin location at all.
Units are grouped into one row per container, location, product, bin location, status and state, with a total Quantity. The report is refreshed every four hours; see How report data is updated.
Columns
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Container | The container the units are in. Click it to open the container. Empty when the units are loose on the bin location. |
| Location | The warehouse location. |
| Product number | The product's number (SKU). |
| Product description | The product's name. |
| Bin location | The bin location where the units actually are. |
| Standard bin location | The product's standard bin location in this warehouse location. |
| Status | The quality status: New or Defective. |
| State | The inventory state: available, allocated, picking, picked, packed or expired. |
| Quantity | The number of units on this row. |
Filters
Every column can be filtered (see Filters). These columns offer a list of values:
| Column | Values |
|---|---|
| Location | The locations you have access to |
| Status | New, Defective |
| State | allocated, available, expected, expired, packed, picked, picking, retired |
Useful filters:
- State is
available, to see only stock that can be moved right away. Allocated or picked stock is already on its way to an order. - Bin location matches the name of a receiving or overflow area, to see what is still waiting to be put away.
- Location is one warehouse, when you work in several.
Sorting and search
The report is sorted by Product number, A to Z. Sorting on Bin location groups the stock per bin location, which gives a convenient walking order when you collect the stock to move it.
Exporting
Use the export button to download the report as CSV, for example to print a move list. See Exporting.
Typical use
- Daily tidy-up: filter on State is
available, sort on Bin location and move the stock to its standard bin location with the mobile app (see Moving inventory). - Checking put-away after receiving: stock that was received on a receiving bin location and not put away shows up here until it is moved.
- Finding outdated settings: when a product is consistently found on another bin location, the standard bin location in the product's settings may be wrong. Update it on the product.
- Supporting replenishment: stock on bulk locations is what replenishment moves to the pick location; this report shows how much of it there is.
