The meaning of GISC (manage bin locations)
GISC is geographic location coordinates.
It's a grid overlay over the warehouse to give our system an idea of where bins are in relation to each other.
The meaning of Type:
The Type field for bins and locations is used to classify different storage areas within the warehouse. For instance, types can be designated for specific purposes such as "Cold Storage," "Clearance," "Receiving Area," etc. This helps in organizing the warehouse into zones and bins that are functionally categorized, making it easier to manage inventory and streamline operations.
