You can add a day-identifier to the To-production bin defined for a location, work center and machine center. This is helpful for companies who use full-bin consumption but are unable to post the consumption until the following day. 

From a location, work center or machine center, you can set JustFoodERP to use the Bin+Day algorithm, which adds a number to the end of the To-production bin that indicates the day the production order started. The days are indicated as follows:

If production was started on Monday, the To-production bin would end in 1 (for example, INBOUND1).

To see information about the logic of how a bin is selected, see Filling the Consumption Bin.

Once JustFoodERP knows which bin to use, it will check the To-Production Bin Algorithm field of the corresponding location, work center or machine center.

To set up To-production bins with the day-identifier

You should create the To-production bins with the day-identifiers for the your locations.

  1. In the Search box, enter Locations, and then choose the related link.

  2. Open the location that you want to add the bins to.

  3. On the Home tab, click Bins.

  4. Add the To-production bins with the day-identifier added to the end. For example, if your To-production bin is INBOUND, then add the following bins: INBOUND1, INBOUND2, INBOUND3, INBOUND4, INBOUND5, INBOUND6, and INBOUND7.

  5. Click OK.

To set up locations, work centers and machine centers to use the Bin+Day algorithm

You need to define if a location, work center and machine center will use the Bin+Day algorithm.

  1. Open a location, work center, or machine center card.

  2. On the Bins FastTab (location) or the Warehouse FastTab (work and machine center), select Bin+Day in the To-Production Bin Algorithm field.

  3. Click OK.

    When a production order is refreshed or a production order is created or changed by the planning system, when you look at the Components window, the Bin Code field shows the To-production bin plus the number that represents the start date of the production order. If production was started on Wednesday, the To-production bin would end in 3 (for example, INBOUND3).
