Move

What you will do​

Move stock from one location (or pallet) to another location.

Before you start​

  • Know what you move: location, LPN, SKU, lot, serial or owner. You need at least one.
  • Know the destination location.
  • For a serial-tracked SKU, have the units ready to scan if you move only part of the stock.
  • Stock on hold, or a restricted location, needs a supervisor.

The default roles Operator and Supervisor may run Move Stock. If you see No permission: {screen} ({function}), your administrator has changed the permission settings. Ask your supervisor.

Steps​

  1. On Main Menu, press 2 (Inventory).
  2. On Inventory, press 2 (Move Stock).
RF screen Move - Find Stock with empty search fields
Screen INVMOV01: the search fields. Focus: Fill at least one field (Lot, Location, LPN, Serial, SKU or Owner), then press Enter. The teal number 1 marks the LPN field.
  1. On Move — Find Stock, read the status line: Fill at least one field, then Enter.
  2. Fill in at least one field:
FieldWhat to enter
LotA lot code (up to 40 characters)
LocationA location code (up to 30)
LPNA pallet label (up to 40). A label with several data fields can be scanned here.
SerialA serial number (up to 60)
SKUA SKU or barcode (up to 50)
OwnerAn owner (up to 50)
  1. Press Enter.
INVMOV02 - Move — Pick Position
Screen INVMOV02: the list titled Pick the position to move.
  1. On Move — Pick Position, the list Pick the position to move shows the stock found. A row reads {sku} {location} {lpn or loose} {atp}{uom} and adds HOLD if held. The number is the available quantity.
  2. Choose the row with Enter. If nothing is found, the status line says Nothing found — Esc to change the filter. Press Esc.
INVMOV03 - Move — How Much
Screen INVMOV03: From, What, Available, Qty. Focus: 1 Available, 2 Qty.
  1. On Move — How Much, check:
    • From: the location and LPN (or loose).
    • What: the SKU and lot.
    • Available: the quantity you can move. A serial-tracked SKU shows (serial-tracked).
  2. In Qty, check the quantity. The field starts with the available quantity. Change it to move less.
  3. Press Enter. The quantity must be more than 0 and not more than Available. Otherwise the screen stays.

Serial-tracked SKU, partial quantity​

If the SKU is serial-tracked and Qty is less than Available, you scan each unit.

INVMOV_SN - Move — Scan Units
Screen INVMOV_SN: the serial scan. Focus: 1 Serial.
  1. On Move — Scan Units, read Scan serial No {n} (of {m}). The status line says Scan each unit to move.
  2. In Serial, scan one unit. The field sends itself.
  3. If you scan a unit twice, a line shows {serial} already scanned — not counted twice.
  4. After the last unit, the terminal opens Move — Destination.
  5. To leave, press Esc. The terminal asks: You scanned {n} serial(s) out of {m}. Nothing has moved yet — leaving loses them. Leave? Press Y (Leave) or N (Keep scanning).

Scan the destination​

INVMOV04 - Move — Destination
Screen INVMOV04: From, What, Moving, To Loc. Focus: 1 To Loc.
  1. On Move — Destination (header Destination), read the status line: Scan the destination location.
  2. Check From, What and Moving (the quantity, and the serials if any).
  3. In To Loc, scan the destination location (up to 30 characters). The field sends itself.

If the terminal asks whether the location is empty​

If the move took everything out of the location you moved from, and the owner of the stock asks for it (owner card, Policies, Confirm Empty After Move), Location Empty? opens before Moved (screen INVMOVZ).

  1. Read Location — the location you moved from — and Is this location empty now?
  2. Look into the location. Press 1 (Yes - nothing left) or 2 (No - stock is left).
  3. If your answer does not match the stock the system holds there, the location is counted. Moved then shows {location} to be counted.
  4. Esc skips the question. Nothing is recorded.

Your answer never changes the stock. It is kept on the location card, tab Checks.

INVMOV_DONE - Moved
Screen INVMOV_DONE: the result of the move.
  1. On Moved, check the line {sku} → {destination} and Moved ({qty} in {n} fragment(s)).
  2. Press Enter (or Esc). The terminal returns to Move — Pick Position. Choose another position, or press Esc to leave.

If a supervisor must approve​

INVMOV_OVR - Supervisor Override
Screen INVMOV_OVR: what is overridden and the supervisor sign-in. Focus: 1 Supervisor, 2 Password.
  1. If the stock is held or restricted, Supervisor Override opens. It says Held or restricted stock — a supervisor must authorize.
  2. Overriding lists the reasons. Each reads {where}: {what}. The {where} is Source LPN, Source location, Dest location, Putaway rule or Hold.
  3. The supervisor types the user name in Supervisor and the password in Password, then presses Enter.
  4. The terminal returns to Move — Destination. Scan the destination again.

What you should see​

  • Moved with the new location.
  • The stock at the destination in Stock Inquiry.
