What are Bins and how can I use them?

Bins are supplemental location markers. Unlike flags they do not have to be created prior to assigning them to items and are primarily used in in the stores tab to identify more precisely where an item is located. They can also be used in Physicals for the same purpose, to more specifically denote where an item is located.  An example could be an aisle or shelf marker in a warehouse or storage location.  Bins are exclusively assigned in the Stores tab, and the bin field is a simple a text field.
