Example: Multi-Bin Par Locations

Example: Multi-Bin Par Locations

Your hospital has implemented a multi-bin kanban system for their par locations. As a result, multiple bins are behind or beside each other to stock the same item to par level. When a bin is empty, you move the full bin behind it forward. When you’re counting the location, you mark the bin that requires restocking, triggering a replenishment of the empty bin. In this example, you need to configure the par count business process and your par location to recognize the multiple bins.
  1. Configure the
    Inventory Par Count Event
     business process and security groups.
  2. Configure the
    Process: Par Inventory
     domain in the Inventory functional area.
  3. Access the
    Maintain Par Location
     task.
  4. On the desired item line, select the
    Kanban
     check box.
  5. Click the prompt in the Bin column and select the
    Create Par Location Bin
     prompt.
  6. Enter the name of the bin.
    You can create as many bins as needed for the item line when you select the
    Kanban
     check box.
  7. Access the
    Create Ad Hoc Par Count
     task.
  8. Select the
    Kanban Only
     check box.
  9. Select your desired bins and complete the par count.
Workday initiates the
Inventory Par Count Event
 business process.
Review and approve the inventory par count for the par location to produce the replenishment business document. Once restock arrives at the par location, the bin is refilled to its par level and placed back in its normal location.
