Warehouse Bin Groups

Overview

Skustack allows you to organize multiple storage bins into Warehouse Bin Groups with a similar purpose. Bin Groups serve as effective filters for inventory searches, cycle counts, and picking operations. They are especially beneficial for 3PL operations, enabling the direct categorization and filtering of stock locations by client groups.


Manage Warehouse Bin Groups

Bins can be grouped by shared characteristics like location, client, product type, storage conditions, or workflow stage. To utilize such groups, you must first create them and then add bins to them.

  4. Click the + icon at the lower right-hand corner.

Unnecessary groups can be selected and deleted with the respective Action.
