How to Manage Item Receipt Staging with Bin Management in NetSuite?

The approach to staging item receipts with bin management in NetSuite depends on when bin information is intended to be captured.Consider the following options:

1. Utilize the Bin Put Away Worksheet

   This method is suitable if bin information is recorded after the item receipt.

   • Navigate to Transaction > Inventory > Bin Put Away worksheet.
   • Use the Print Put Away List button to generate a list of items requiring put-away.
   • Record the bin locations on paper during the physical put-away process.
   • Return to NetSuite to capture the recorded bin information.
   • *Note*: This process is not suitable if bin information is captured directly on the receipt transaction.

2. Integrate Bin Information on the Purchase Order

   If bin details are known and captured before the item receipt, they can be added to the Purchase Order.

   • Create a second form on the PO or integrate the bin information into the current PO form.
   • Ensure bin information is captured on the PO before the item receipt takes place.

3. Develop a Custom Put Away Form

   For more tailored workflows, a custom solution can be implemented.

   • Create a dedicated put-away form.
   • Call this form from a custom button on the receipt form.
   • This option requires a few lines of code for implementation.
