Bin

The live quantity of one item in one warehouse: actual, reserved, ordered, projected. No ledger effect.

In detail

A Bin is the system's running summary of one item in one warehouse: actual quantity on the shelf, quantity reserved for Sales Orders, quantity ordered from suppliers, quantity requested on Material Requests, quantity planned by Work Orders, and the projected quantity that results. It is rebuilt from the Stock Ledger with every submit and cancel, so you never edit it. Reports such as Stock Projected Qty, Item Shortage Report and Items To Be Requested read Bins rather than the ledger because they are fast. The Bin carries no money, only quantities and the current valuation rate; if its actual quantity disagrees with Stock Balance, run Repost Item Valuation.

Formula

Projected qty = actual + ordered + indented + planned - reserved - reserved for production - reserved for subcontract
