# Add Bins

The storage bin is the smallest available unit of space in a warehouse. The storage bin therefore describes the position in the warehouse where the goods are or can be stored.

## Add New Bins

To add new bins navigate to Setup > Warehouse > Zones and select the desired zone from the 'Code' column.

There are two ways to add new bins to the warehouse zone. First, is to create a single bin with a unique name - 'Generate by Name'. Second, is to generate multiple bins using Zone Mask Feature - 'Generate Bins'.

### Generate by Name

Alternatively you can replace bins numeric order with alphabet using the same Zone Mask settings. Uncheck the 'Numeric' box and set up the desired range in the Bins Generator menu.

## Editing Bins

In the following window users can edit multiple aspects of the bin. This option creates flexibility to customize individual bins without affecting the entire zone of the warehouse.

{% hint style="info" %}
Notice: By default bins setting are inherited from the warehouse zone setting.  
{% endhint %}

To save any changes in the bin editing window click 'Update button' as shown above. Edits are not saved automatically.
