Defining a default storage bin for product variants helps to manage inventory organization by specifying a consistent location for each item. This ensures that products are stored systematically, making it easier to locate items and maintain accurate inventory records.

Default storage bins can be added to both products and materials by assigning each variant a unique default storage bin or by having multiple variants share the same default storage bin (if applicable).

A single variant cannot be allocated to multiple storage bins simultaneously. You can specify a default storage bin for each location, providing you with precise control over your inventory.

Adding, editing, or removing a default storage bin

  1. Open the item card for an item you want to assign default storage bins.
