# Suggest bin movements

The program includes a feature that suggests bin movements for different types of activities in the bin reclassification journal. Put-away movements are suggested based on the contents of a particular bin or bin type. Pick movements are suggested by looking at pending shipments and production orders.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Although the movements suggested in the bin reclassification journal are referred to as "put-aways" and "picks," these terms simply describe the types of movements suggested. You cannot create separate put-away and pick documents from this page.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Bin Reclass. Journal**, and then choose the related link.
2. On the **Actions** tab, in the **Functions** group, choose the type of bin movement you want to suggest. The relevant request form opens.
3. On the **Item** FastTab, set filters to select items by number and/or item category.

If you are suggesting pick movements for shipments, use the **Warehouse Request** FastTab to set filters to select source documents by type and number.
4. On the **Options** FastTab, enter the location for which you want to suggest bin movements in the **Location Code** field.
5. Select the **Suggest Bins** field (for put-aways) or the **Suggest Picks** field (for picks) if you want the system to suggest storage bins for movement.
6. Select the **Generate Journal Lines** field if you want the program to automatically populate the bin reclassification journal with the suggested bins.

If you are suggesting pick movements for shipments, the **Generate Journal Lines** field is an option field from which you can select the method by which journal lines are created.
7. Choose **Print** or **Preview** to run the report.

When the report is finished, the items selected for movement are listed in the bin reclassification journal.
