What is Sage 100cloud Multi-Bin Management, and do I need it?

February 5, 2019 by Darcy Boerio

Who can benefit from a Multi-Bin System? Just about any business who carries inventory.”

– Nicole Ronchetti, DSD Business Systems

For businesses who manage inventory, Sage 100 has much to offer. But one historical shortcoming has been the lack of Multi-Bin Management. Enter Sage 100cloud, where DSD/ScanForce Multi-Bin Basic comes free with your subscription!

Traditional Sage 100cloud allows for one bin location per item per warehouse.

With the free Sage 100cloud Multi-Bin enhancement, you can expand to multiple bins per item per warehouse – all fully compatible with the ScanForce Warehouse Management solutions for Sage100cloud.

What is Sage 100cloud Multi-Bin Management?

Multi-Bin Management allows you to track items across multiple bin locations in Sage without having to use clunky workarounds like creating “dummy” warehouses.

READ: Why did Sage add a “Warehouse Status” field in Sage 100?

At the surface, it’s a rather simple idea. Sometimes your inventory won’t fit in one particular bin location and needs to be stored in multiple physical locations within the warehouse. DSD/ScanForce Multi-Bin Basic makes incorporating bin location details right within Sage 100cloud seamless.

If that’s not enough reason for you to start using your free Sage 100cloud Multi-Bin tool, read on.

Don’t have items in multiple bins? That doesn’t mean you can’t benefit from Multi-Bin Management. There are numerous other practical uses in the warehouse.

From tracking items that need inspection before being put on the shelves to storing stock that is reserved for certain customers (i.e. Amazon or Wal-mart), there are many ways that warehouses can take advantage of this technology that gives them greater visibility into their inventory.

Sage 100cloud has the robust functionality of Multi-Bin Basic included, with an option to upgrade to more advanced features for those who need it.

Multi-Bin for MAS 90 and MAS 200 v4.4 Available

December 14, 2010 by Wayne Schulz

Sage partner Hightower Inc have just announced that their Multi-Bin for Sage ERP MAS90 and MAS200 version 4.4 is available.

The feature adds the ability to track multiple bin locations per warehouse for specific MAS 90 or MAS 200 inventory items as described below:

Inventory Management
The Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 Inventory Management module provides receipt of goods data, the movement of goods within or between locations, the sale, removal of goods, and the precise valuation and status of goods remaining in inventory at any point in time. When integrated with Multi-Bin Advanced Distribution, you will be able to track multiple bin locations per warehouse per item.

Sales Order
With the Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200 Sales Order module, you’ll know the availability of specific units in inventory, or alternate items if an item is out of stock, specific customer pricing, customer credits, and much more, while entering orders. With Multi-Bin Advanced Distribution, you can mark inventory items involved in sales orders as allocated. Allocated inventory items are not available for purchase by other customers until you release the items.

Purchase Order
Streamline and organize your entire purchasing process – track shipping methods, track the date a purchase is required, track the name of person that places the order, and confirm the quantity ordered and the price. Multi-Bin Advanced Distribution modifies the Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200 Purchase Order module to utilize bin locations for receipt of inventory items. Bin locations are also utilized for return of goods and material requisition entries.

Bill of Materials
Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 Bill of Materials allows you to easily create and maintain a detailed bill of components and miscellaneous charges that make up your finished items and subassembly components. Multi-Bin Advanced Distribution module integrates with Bill of Materials so bin quantities can be tracked throughout the production and disassembly processes.

Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA)
With RMA, once an item is returned, Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 will automatically generate all appropriate transactions, including credit memos, replacement orders, purchase orders, and vendor returns. Multi-Bin Advanced Distribution integrates with the Return Merchandise Authorization module so that quantity can be distributed to bins before transactions are generated.

Work Order
Issue work orders, develop schedules, and track costs associated with the manufacturing process. Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 Work Orders gives you the ability to see up-to-the-minute work in process information. The Multi-Bin Advanced Distribution module integrates with Work Order so bin distributions can be entered and updated along with each work order entry.

Bar Code
With Bar Code, collect data more quickly than ever before – warehouse and shipping/receiving staff can record bar coded items with a scanner and data is downloaded to Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200. Multi-Bin Advanced Distribution modifies the Bar Code module by expanding the import files to include bin locations.
