After completing a job, technicians may have leftover spare parts that were transferred earlier from a warehouse or location bin to their personal user bin. These extra parts must be returned to ensure accurate inventory levels and availability for future jobs.
In FieldEx, this is done by initiating a Bin Transfer — moving unused parts from your User Bin back to the original Location Bin. This process ensures full visibility and accountability for all spare parts in the system.
Useful Pre-requisites
The spare parts must currently be in your assigned User Bin.
Know the original Location Bin to which the parts should be returned.
Ensure your user role allows bin transfer actions within the mobile app.
Returning Unused Parts
Path: Module > Bin > Transfer
Go to the Transfer module in the FieldEx Mobile App.
Tap Spare Part Transfer to start a bin-to-bin movement.
Select your User Bin as the Source.
Select the correct Location Bin (e.g. warehouse shelf) as the Destination.
Choose the spare part from your inventory list.
Enter the Quantity of unused parts to return.
Tap Submit to complete the transfer.
Tip: Always double-check the destination bin to make sure parts are returned to the correct storage location. This helps planners and store managers maintain accurate inventory balances. |
Why This Matters
Ensures unused stock is returned promptly for reuse in future jobs.
Prevents overstocking in technician bins and inventory mismatches.
Improves part availability for other team members.
Maintains accurate stock levels across all bins and locations.
