Before Elliott 7.3, the system only supported One Step processing for Multi-Bin.
In Elliott 7.3, we support either one step or two step processing.
Two Step means we will utilize Receiving, Shipping and Production Bins as defined in the location file setup. The warehouse will move inventory between these three bins and the stocking bins through the “Inventory Transfer” Process.

1. Use Multi-Bin Control? Y
2. Allow Negative Qty On Hand For Bin Inventory? Y
3. Create Inventory Transfer for PO Receiving Post? Y
This flag decides whether to use one step or two step processing for PO Receiving for Multi-Bin. When it is two steps, it creates an inventory transfer batch automatically.
4. Default to Use Receiving Bin in PO Receiving? Y
If you intend to use two steps for PO Receiving, general speaking, you would default to the Receiving Bin. You may choose to override the Receiving Bin if you already know which stock bin to move the inventory to (determined by the receiving person, instead of the picker). The system will still create the Inventory Transfer batch. If you receive to the Receiving Bin, then the To Bin is blank (determined by warehouse picker). If you receive to a bin other than the Receiving Bin, then the To Bin will be that bin and the From Bin will be the Receiving Bin.
5. Print Immed. Transfer Ticket After PO Rec Post? N
This flag determines who will print the transfer ticket, the receiving person or the warehouse (picker)?
