Open Shop Floor Bin Code Field, Machine Center Table
Specifies the bin that functions as the default open shop floor bin at the work center. The open shop floor bin is typically a bin in the production area with enough components that can be automatically posted as they are consumed (flushed) without requesting a warehouse activity to bring them to the bin.
Additional Information
The value in this field is automatically inserted in the Bin Code field on production order component lines in the following cases:
The location code of the production order component line is the same as on the work center card.
The first relevant production order routing line had an empty Open Shop Floor Bin Code field because the specified work center is on another location or does not have a defined open shop floor bin code.
The flushing method on the production order component line is set to either Forward or Backward.
For an illustration of how components are handled in the Bin Code field on production order component lines, see Filling the Consumption Bin.
Note
The bin code in this field overwrites any bin code that is entered in the Open Shop Floor Bin Code field on the location card for the location where this work center operates.
Bin codes that are set up on work center cards only define a default warehouse flow for certain activities, such as components in a production department. Additional functionality exists to make sure that placing items in a certain bin makes them unavailable to other activities. For more information, see the Dedicated field in the Bins window.
