Bin Check

Bin Check shows the live contents of one bin-managed warehouse location. Use it to confirm what is physically in a rack, shelf, staging area, or system bin before counting, picking, transferring, or investigating stock discrepancies.

Accessing the Page

Route: /binCheck

Direct route with selected bin: /binCheck/:binEntry/:binCode

Navigation: Dashboard -> Bin Check

Bin Check is only available when the signed-in user is connected to a bin-managed warehouse. If the user is not connected to a bin-managed warehouse, the page shows the alert You’re not connected to a bin managed warehouse.

When to Use

Use Bin Check when you need to:

• Verify the stock currently assigned to a bin location.
• Review which items and packages are stored in a bin before moving stock.
• Open an item directly from a bin result row for deeper Item Check details.
• Confirm whether a bin is empty.
• Export the visible bin content for offline review.

Scan a Bin

The default page focuses the Bin Location scanner field. Enter a bin code manually or scan a bin barcode, then select Accept.

After a value is entered, Accept becomes available. The scanner accepts up to 255 characters.

Fields

Field	Required	Type	Description	Default	Validation
Bin Location	Yes	Text / scanner input	Bin code used to identify the warehouse location.	Empty	Accept is disabled until a non-empty value is entered. The code must resolve to a bin in the current warehouse. Maximum 255 characters.

Results / Details

When the bin is found, the page changes to the result view. The title breadcrumb shows the selected bin code, and the export action appears in the top bar.

Item Rows

Each row represents one item stored in the selected bin.

Display	Description
Item code	Blue link that opens Item Check for that item.
Item name	Item description from the warehouse item data.
Quantity text	Human-readable stock breakdown, such as boxes, dozens, and units.
Unit badges	Small P, D, and U boxes summarize the row quantity by unit type when unit selection is enabled. P means packs/boxes, D means dozens, and U means loose units. Colored boxes mean that unit type has a quantity; gray boxes mean zero for that unit type.
Chevron	Appears only when package details are available for the item. Select the row to expand or collapse details.

Expanded Package Rows

Rows with package content can be expanded. The expanded area shows pack, dozen, and unit counts, the package barcode list, package quantities, and the total base-unit quantity.

Unit Indicator Boxes

The small boxes on the right side of each stock row are quick quantity indicators. They help the operator see whether the row contains full packs, full dozens, or remaining loose units without opening the row.

Box	Meaning	Color Behavior
P	Pack or box quantity calculated from the item’s purchase pack settings.	Colored when one or more full packs exist; gray when there are no full packs.
D	Dozen quantity calculated after full packs are removed.	Colored when one or more dozens exist; gray when there are no dozens.
U	Loose unit remainder after packs and dozens are calculated.	Colored when loose units remain; gray when there are no loose units.

If base units are disabled for the user, the U box may not be shown. The labels can also follow the user’s unit settings, but the default English abbreviations are P, D, and U.

Totals Summary

The bottom summary cards calculate totals for the selected bin.

Summary	Description
Total Items	Number of distinct item rows returned for the bin.
Total Boxes	Sum of full package/box quantities calculated from item quantity, purchase pack units, and units per pack. If unit selection is disabled, this card displays Total Items instead.
Mixed Boxes	Number of unique package barcodes found in the bin. This card appears only when package tracking is enabled.

Empty Bin

If the bin exists but has no stock, Bin Check shows Bin is Empty and No content found for bin location, followed by zero-value summary cards.

Actions

Action	Availability	Result
Accept	Available after entering a bin code.	Validates the bin and opens the result view.
Select title / breadcrumb	Available after results load.	Clears the current bin and returns to the scanner.
Export	Available after results load.	Downloads an Excel file with Code, Description, and quantity columns based on the user’s unit settings.
