- Save the file and re-import it in Products ▸ Inventory ▸ Import.
- Print a Pick list (Orders ▸ Fulfillment ▸ Pick lists); you’ll see the bin names beside each line item.
Good to know
- Each variant can have one bin per physical name for now.
- Inventory quantities are still tracked at the location level.
- Bin names are free-text – add leading zeros if you need them to sort correctly (for example 01, 02 … 10).
