Preferred Bin Logic for Putaway Recommendations

edited Jun 2, 2025 2:52PM in Ask A Guru 7 comments

I'm wrestling with preferred bins and putaway recommendations in NetSuite WMS. SuiteAnswers says the preferred bin always gets recommended, regardless of my putaway strategies. This is causing chaos in my warehouse!

Here's the lowdown:

  • Pallet Problem: I receive items by the pallet but store them as cases in the preferred bin. NetSuite wants to cram the whole pallet into the case bin!
  • Damage Debacle: My putaway strategy sends damaged goods to quarantine, but NetSuite ignores this and suggests the preferred bin.
  • FIFO Frustration: We want to pick oldest stock first, but new receipts keep landing in the preferred bin, messing up our rotation.

Howdy, Stranger!
