How to Mass create bins by WM ?

Question

Hi experts,
We need mass create bins  by ls10. in LS10, it has some fields , - Sequence number, template, structure and increment. 
I don;'t know how to setup this , Now we have some old bins, like storage type is 1CF   bins like AB1-01-01.  but now we need setup new bins from DE01-01-01A to  DE01-01-30A., So if we set sequence number as 0002, When we do material movement, it will choose the new bins ?
How to set the Sequence number, template, structure and increment.  ?
Thanks
Alice

Hi,
Sequence number: you had better enter a consecutive number;
Template: it's used for bin coordinate for automatic creation, specifies how the storage bins are defined for automatic generation.
N  stands for a numeric character between zero and nine
A  stands for an alphabetic letter; this may only be one digit
C  stands for a character common to all the bins
Pay attention to the max length of template is 10 chars.
Base on your mention, I think your template should be CCNNCNNCNN;
Structure: it's used to specify how the increment for automatic generation of storage bins is to be interpreted. Different letters mean that the digits are increased by the increment independently of one another. Same letters mean that the increment is a multi-digit one.
Increment: your increment should be  DE01-01-01, it's used to determines during automatic generation of storage bins how large the addition is that is to be added on to the storage bin coordinate figures in order to create the "name" of the next storage bin.
Don't forget to input the Start value DE01-01-01 and End value DE01-01-30
In addition, for the new bins chosen automatically, you should have the search stragety for the new bins in WM module, otherwise system only chooses the next empty bin automatically.
Good day
