Back Top Previous Next |
The core component of warehousing is the synergy of the physical warehouse and Jim2. This happens as a two-fold process: ▪identifying the layout of the storage area in Jim2 through stock bins and ▪setting up workflow processes as in Warehouse Management and business procedures.
Bins can be added in one of two ways: 1.Manually – typically used for making minor changes/additions to the warehouse. 2.Using the Stock Bin Wizard – typically for the initial setup of the warehouse, or for large additions.
On the ribbon, go to Tools > Setups > Stock > Stock Bins.
1.Add Bins Manually ▪Active: ticked means this bin is being used. Unticked means this bin is not being used. ▪Enter the zone, if used. ▪Enter the appropriate row, bay, level and bin numbers (mandatory fields) – a qualified bin code will appear in the Bin Code field. An optional bin description can be included. ▪Max Qty allows entering the maximum quantity that will fit in the bin. ▪Select the Sort Order. ▪If using zones, the zone can be optionally included in the Bin Code. ▪This virtually follows the same process as in 1 above, except that there is a choice of format and separator style. ▪Enter the starting and ending number for each row, bay, level and bin. ▪Use the two checkbox options as appropriate.
Jim2 will create all bins based on what is entered here (see image above).
Warehouse Layout – A Practical Example
As shown in the example above, the Stock Wizard was used to create Rows A to D,
then 1.Rows F to I (the shelving) were created, again using the wizard, with these settings below: and finally: 3.Row E (the floor space) was created by clicking Add to open the Add Bin screen and entering E into the Row field.
