Overview
Skustack’s Product Bins allow you to easily access all bins associated with a particular product. A bin becomes associated when the product is initially added to it. By default, it retains the association even if the product’s inventory in the bin is zero. In this article, you’ll learn how to efficiently view and regulate product bin quantities both through your Skustack device and your Admin portal.
Product Bins Module
The Product Bins module is located within Skustack’s Bin tab and allows you to view and manage product bin quantities.
To enable quantity adjustments in the the Skustack app, activate the Allow Quantity Updates Warehouse Management setting.
Search Product Bins
To find all bins associated with a particular SKU:
- Navigate to the Product Bins module and tap the Search icon.
- Scan or enter the required SKU.
- A list of associated product bins will be displayed. Primary bins are easily distinguishable by their bold and italic font. To conceal bins with zero bin quantity, enable the Hide products with zero bin quantity Warehouse Management setting.
- Tap on the Movements icon to access the product’s bin movements.

Manage Product Bins
When the Allow Quantity Updates Warehouse Management setting is enabled, you can control the product’s bin quantities through your Skustack device. If necessary, you can also enforce an adjustment limit in the Set Quantity Updates Limit field, an Adjustment Reason, and configure other Related Settings.
To adjust quantities for a product within a bin:
- Search for the desired bin.
- Swipe the header down and tap the + icon to add quantities to a new bin.
- To adjust the quantities in one of the existing bins, tap the item and the adjustment dialog will open.
- You can use one of the following methods to either increase or decrease the quantity in the selected bin:
- Scanning – Scan the products’ SKUs as many times as you wish to change the quantity. Use either the green or red Arrow to indicate whether products are added or removed from the bin. (To change between the two modes, simply tap the Arrow)
- Manually – Either type the desired number to adjust or use the arrows above and below the number field to either increase or decrease the quantity.
- If the Warehouse Management setting Adjustment reason is enabled, you must provide a specific Reason for the quantity change.
- Tap Add.
