Learn how to change a SKU's default receiving bin
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?
- 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. - 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. - 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). - 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). - 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.
