Dynamic Bin Allocation for Customers.

It is possible to set up Annapurna via a setting so that numbered bins are allocated to the customers as the jobs are completed during the day.

On the first completion of the day, the customer records are scanned and any numeric bins are reset to 0.  When a job is completed for a customer then then the customer record is checked. If the bin is 0 then the next bin number is allocate and stored in the customer record.  The customer bin number is printed on the delivery note and this will tell the packer where to place the order.

The advantage of this is that there only needs to be the number of bins needed for the number of customers with work sent rather than a bin for all customers.

If there is a wish to keep a static bin for customers with work each day then there are given a non-numeric bin eg A1.
