Or my first thought: stock location. Inventory software often doesn't
care whether your physical stock is organized by shelf, box,
warehouse, planet, or secret-space-on-Firefly-class-ship; just number
each location, and that's the bin number. (And no, that isn't like
"PIN number".) It's then quite logical to want various stats to be
per-bin, which would lead exactly to the OP's problem - including the
odd notation of input data, all too likely in a real-world scenario.
