I made this bin for one of my users so they could receive product form a PO. Problem is i Typo’d the bin number should have been CLOSTE. They undid the transaction of the receipt and the Bin currently has no product in it.

Is there anyway to delete it or do i just need to mark it as inactive and live with my embarrassment?

I see you are on-prem. You _could_ do a direct sql delete statement.

I considered that but seems really Risky. Not really sure, nor confident on what knock on effects would occur. 😵‍💫

i found this [Renaming warehouse bins - #3 by carguy](https://www.epiusers.help/t/renaming-warehouse-bins/110745/3) post, which claims you are able to delete bins once you empty them, but my understanding was that once they have been used you can delete them.

Maybe support has a datafix that will delete it for you

I’m assuming you missed a “n’t” in the sentance. If the bin has been transacted against it will be in the Parttran table and prevent you from deleting against it.

I think they may have got confused with UOMs. To change UOMs you need to remove all your inventory, make the change and add back.

You can delete them once they are empty. Unless this has changed.

Here is a test. 2024.2 I created a new bin, transacted against it, added 100 subtracted 100, then tried to delete the bin.  
 ![Bin Deletion with Transaction data](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/d/0/d0929e9ef0b4b5164c755b6142cf8c20d7a8f99c.gif)

Result, “Deletion Not Allowed”

If you have not transacted against the bin it should delete, that being said it You won’t be able to delete it if it is setup as a primary bin on any parts. You will get the same error message.
