Adding A New Bin Location - AMP Only

[TechTeam]

Q : How do I add a new bin location?

A:To add a new bin location go to MATERIALS (STORES) > LOAD/MAINT STK FILE > ADD/EDIT BIN LOCATION

Once here look at the top tool bar in the top left hand corner and click “Browse“. this will give you another drop down, now select “Append Record” (Ctrl+Y is the shortcut).

This will add a line ready for editing in the window. Type in the name of the bin you want to add. Once done hit the down button on your keyboard and your new bin location will be added to your list. Press the escape key to come out of this area.

This entry can also be performed by going to UTILITIES > CONTROL FILES

NOTE:
1. Bin locations can be set per O/station. The first column is labelled "O_Stn" and is intended to hold the 3-digit code to match an Outstations in use and if applicable

2. When entering Bin locations, remember that the program will automatically sort these Alpha-numerically. Thus if you have for example 10 bins (or more) prefixed with a letter and intend to use it this way i.e. A1, A2. A3 ...etc, you are recommended to enter these as A01, A02, A03....etc. This way when sorted, the numbering will ascend correctly instead of it going A1, A11, A2 ...etc.
