Can I delete a bin in WMS?

This article will teach you how to archive a bin, keep it on record, and move the inventory that was in it.

WMS does not delete a bin. Archive keeps the bin so you can still see that it was used. On-hand inventory moves to the place you choose. Unassigned is already selected. Receiving, moves, and counts no longer offer an archived bin as a place to put stock. Books shows the same bin under Archived.

Steps

• Open Bin Management in WMS and confirm the warehouse in the header.
• Find the bin on the Active list. Admins see Archive on that row.
• Choose Archive. The window says the bin will stay on the Archived list.
• Leave Move inventory to on Unassigned, or search and pick another active bin.
• Choose Archive bin. The quantities in that bin move, and the bin leaves the Active list.
• Open Archived to see bins that were used before. Restore puts the bin back on Active. Inventory stays where it was moved.
• If the bin is named on an open receipt, finish or change that receipt first. Archive stays unavailable until that receipt is done.

Conclusion & best practices

Use Archive when the physical spot is gone. The bin record remains, and the stock is no longer sitting in a bin nobody can walk to. Renaming a bin is different: Edit changes the name and the inventory stays with that same bin.
