Scenario
User would like to know why would a Bin auto-populate in the Inventory Detail pop up window in Item Fulfillment even if there was no Preferred Bin set for a particular Location.
Solution
To resolve user may check the Quantity Available in the Bin in the Item Record, because Bin auto-populates in the Inventory Detail pop up window when it is the only Bin with enough available quantity to fulfill the order.
For example:
Location A has the following Bins:
BIN123 with 5 Available Quantity
BIN456 with 10 Available Quantity
BIN768 with 15 Available Quantity
Note: Assume that there was no Preferred Bin set in Location A.
Scenario 1:
When a user prepares a Sales Order for 13 quantity from Location A and fulfills this order, the system will automatically assign BIN768 in the Inventory Detail pop up window since it is the only Bin that can fulfill this order.
Scenario 2:
When a user prepares a Sales Order for 4 quantity from Location A and fulfills this order, no Bin will automatically be assigned in the Inventory Detail pop up window since all of the Bins in Location A can fulfill this Order and there was no preferred Bin set.
