Item at multiple BIN locations

planned

Eddie

Currently all stock of an item can only be assigned to a single BIN location. It would be more realistic to allow items to be assigned to multiple BIN locations in various quantities. Using the wizard we can only assign ALL of an item to a BIN location but we need to select the quantity to be assigned so the missing column in the wizard is 'Quantity'.

Any progress on this urgent issue?

Chris

Neil McQuillan - CEO Citrus-Lime: Great news thanks Neil.

Stefan Pinter

Neil McQuillan - CEO Citrus-Lime Hi, is there a timeline when this great function will be available?

Neil McQuillan - CEO Citrus-Lime

Stefan Pinter: Once the backoffice 2.0 piece is completed, which is progress well. I reviewed concepts for the purchase orders screen this morning, which look awesome.

Stefan Pinter

Neil McQuillan - CEO Citrus-Lime Are there some new information about timing? We start to plan our yearly inventory count, there is a good option to get all bin locations together for upload them.

This only works, if multiple bin location is available.

Neil McQuillan - CEO Citrus-Lime

This will definitely be coming after the new POS 2.0 backoffice launches. It's likely to be the first major feature we add after the launch.

Kirstie

Neil McQuillan - CEO Citrus-Lime: Brilliant news.

Nick Johnston

Neil McQuillan - CEO Citrus-Lime: i was told two weeks ago by support that this was not coming anytime soon. When you say Likley, iS IT actually planned or could be another 6 months or more?

Neil McQuillan - CEO Citrus-Lime

Nick Johnston: It will definitely be more than six months, we require the Cloud POS 2.0 back office to be completed, and we've just started that piece of work, to add this feature and it will require changes to the UI, database and Cloud POS API, but we are 100% committed to implementing the feature.

Neil McQuillan - CEO Citrus-Lime Hi Neil can i just put in a request to make sure that you don't break current functionality when implementing this - we update the BIN locations with an app that reads and writes to is using the API currently

Rob Caine

We would hugely benefit from this functionality also.
Not only when there is significant volumes of a particular SKU that needs to be stored across multiple bins, but this will help with finding stock that could be both in a warehouse and on the shop floor.
It would speed up picking and also the putting away of stock from goods in and returns.

Kirstie

Rob Caine: We absolutely agree. I would think that the majority of retail outlets will have a SKU in more than one location. e.g stock box and on display on the shop floor. Very frustrating that we cannot have multiple locations for items as it does make picking online orders and replenishing the shop floor difficult.

Tom Bowden

Having multiple locations for the same SKU, coupled with the existing functionality of more then one SKU per location significantly increases the density of storage. And storage is expensive.

Eddie

Tom Bowden: the system needs to reflect the reality of your customers operations and sku are stored in multiple locations. I can appreciate that this may be challenging in terms of resources and given the time that's past I'll assume that you have really given this some thought. Is there no way to achieve the assigning of an sku to multiple bins in an efficient way? I wonder if anyone else has an alternative approach that serves this need....

Nick Johnston

Eddie: we have looked into this and we have not found a work around other than two stores which has caused further issues.

Fiona

We are just starting to set up stock location system and inevitable items are in 3 places at once. We need to be able to find them for internet orders and this can be quite a mission. Hence we need a robust stock location system with multiple locations listed. Thank you

Pete Baars

Fiona I've personally spent an hour looking for a product that had been placed on a mannequin, so technically on the shop floor, but nowhere near the remainder of the stock. So frustrating, I'd just assumed that it had been "five finger discounted" before a flash of inspiration struck me!

Eddie

Dear CL - this has been under review since January 2019! It has 48 of your customers keen to see it implemented...so a gentle nudge coming your way....
