TRAX MANUALS > Inventory > Inventory Module > Inventory, Update Menu > Inventory Transaction > Inventory Transaction Buttons > Bin Transfer Button, via Inventory Transaction

The Bin Transfer button is used to move items between bins within the same location. Once an item has been received into the system, there may be a need to move the item to another bin within the location. The Bin is assigned at Receiving and may be pre-defined by part number/location combination in the P/N Master.

Select the item required for transfer so that the Hand pointer is on the desired record. Select the Bin button:

Note: When Inventory Switch BINTRANPIC is set to Yes, Bin Transfers can be conducted with an Open Physical Inventory Count. A soft warning will notify the user if the P/N has a Physical Inventory Count Open. For more information, refer to the Inventory Switches Module.

The following information/options are available in this window:

Default Bin Button

Selecting this button will populate the default bin set-up in the Part Number Master for the chosen part.

Standard Bin

This field indicates the Location Bin designated for the selected P/N. Parts will have a designated Bin for certain Locations when the 'Reserved to this P/N' checkbox is selected via the P/N Bin Location Control Button. Transferring the part to this Bin is optional. However, parts that are not designated for this Location/Bin cannot be transfered to this Bin. If a user attempts to transfer a part to this reserved Location/Bin that has not been designated to this Location/Bin, the following warning will appear:

If the 'Reserved to this P/N' checkbox via the P/N Bin Location Control Button is not selected, the Standard Bin text will not appear in this window. For more information refer to the Bin Control Button via the Settings Training Manual.

Qty

The quantity of parts to be transferred. For rotables, this field is auto-populated with the number 1, since rotables are serialized and will always show up individually in the Inventory Transaction screen. For consumables, this field will be open for editing if more than one part is to be moved to the selected bin.

After saving, TRAX transfers the part to the new bin. The user can optionally print a new part identification tag.
