What?

A default receiving bin is the default location that a specific SKU will be added to when generating a receiving report.

Why?

When filling out a receiving report, the default receiving bin is auto-populated. This allows you to keep track of all inventory locations in your warehouse(s).

How?

  1. Go to Inventory → SKUs
    From the main navigation menu on the left, click Inventory, then select SKUs.
    You’ll see a list of all your SKUs along with their product details.

  2. Open the SKU you want to update
    Find the SKU in the list and click the three-dot menu on the far right of the row.
    Choose Edit SKU from the dropdown options.

  3. Navigate to the Product Information tab
    In the Update SKU window, make sure you’re on the Product Information tab (this is selected by default).

  4. Locate the “Default Receiving Bin” field
    Scroll down to the Default Receiving Bin section.
    Click the dropdown to select the appropriate warehouse and bin (e.g., Warehouse 1 - Loc1, Warehouse 2 - War2 - Loc1).

  5. Save your changes
    Once selected, click Save to apply your update.
    The new default bin will now auto-populate whenever you create a receiving report for this SKU.
