A fixed bin is a physical place to store a certain material. and this material should not be stored anywhere else.

Fixed bin is a standard warehouse strategy and not only used in Lean warehouses.

Hi,

1. Yes. Settings in material master defines whether a bin is fixed bin.

2. There might be various reasons behind it. E.g. you dedicate one storage bin for each material and you always place them to those bins, or you store small, cheap parts in a bin in production area.

3. MM02 > plant, WH ,storage type level > define the bin in WM2 view.

4. SE16+MLGT > MLGT-LGPLA

5.See point 4.
