Integrated Beas bin location management can manage different types of warehouses.
Note: For new installation use SAP Bin management.
Warehouses can be defined in a detailed store structure:
Location
Warehouse
Warehouse Area
Bin location
Level
Row
Compartment
Each warehouse can be subdivided into free definable areas. Size and configuration, as well as colors, can be selected for visualization.

An inventory location is unique per store, but it is permanently assigned to a storage area. An inventory location can consist of 1–3 dimensions, e.g. Row or level+row or level+row+compartment.
The dimensions can be defined freely. With inventory management the following structure can be displayed:
Item
Warehouse Location
Bin location
Batch/series number
RFID
Stock
or for a simple items
Item
Warehouse Location
Bin location
Stock
RFID is another user-definable ID (e.g. an RFID chip).This is deactivated by default, but can be activated using Options / Material Management.
Inventory movement log:
In addition to the standard SAP Business One movement log, a movement log is kept in parallel per inventory location for inventory location-managed inventory locations.
Integration in Beas
In Beas, bin location management is fully integrated. The selection of the affected warehouses is made before the posting. Furthermore, in many posting windows bins are presented with graphical visualization if such information was stored before.
Activating bin location management for a warehouse
A subsequent activation of bin location management is possible only when the material is charged off and posted thereafter to bin locations.
Inventory / Initial inventory
The first version of Beas inventory location management does not yet include a separate inventory function.
If the inventory is performed via SAP Business One, the entry document generated by the inventory is available under Materials Management - Bin Location Management - Open Documents. This can be used to perform bin location allocations.
When using bin location warehouses, it is imperative that you work with the Beas inventory and not with the SAP Business One - Inventory function. The Beas inventory offers initial stocktaking (Inventory Opening Balance function), annual inventory count and regular inventory (Cycle Count Recommendations function). An integrated correction program simplifies inventory management. For more information see Inventory.
Note:
Negative stock is not managed and can lead to errors ! Although negative stock is allowed in SAP Business One we strongly recommend to deactivate this function in SAP Business One.
Mobile registration
Beas bin location management is fully supported by Beas WebApps.
