NetSuite for Geniuses: Using Locations and Bins

When deciding on using multiple inventory locations and bins for managing your physical inventory, make sure that you understand them well and use them properly. There is one very important consequences of your decision:

• You can fulfill a single sales order from multiple locations, but each location requires its own fulfillment, and therefore its own packing slip. What this means is that if if you have several physical inventory locations, i.e., warehouses, you must be careful on how you set them up. If they are all in the same physical location, then use one location and bins to identify the warehouses. If the warehouses are at different sites then you can use multiple locations and, of course, multiple bins within each location.
