Question: I selected a valid location and bin in Bin Inquiry, and clicked the Show Data button in the ribbon, but nothing appears on the Results tab.
Answer: Bin Inquiry will display data only if there is an association between a product and the selected bin and location. Review the following:
Product Location Maintenance - Products must be tracked at the bin level. Products can then also be tracked at the lot or serial number levels. Products should have a defined primary pick bin and primary putaway bin. These bins define which bins product will be selected from for shipments and for receipt of goods.
Purchase Order Receipt - A bin must be specified for received products. Note that during purchase order receipt, goods can be received into a bin other than the default bin for the products. Reasons for alternate bin selection can include overflow in the default bin's capacity level or the bin's location within the warehouse may not be appropriate for the product being received. Inventory Receipts Received Bin Report is useful in displaying bin information for products received into a specific location.
Inventory Matrix Inquiry - Bin Inquiry retrieves records that are also found in Inventory Matrix Inquiry. This matrix is used to inquire on current quantities for a product and location. If product information is available in the matrix at the product/location/bin level, Bin Inquiry should also display similar product information.
