Move To Another Site/Stock Location
Explanation
When you want to move a part, you can choose whether the parts should be moved directly
to an inventory location or be moved to transit. When moving consignment stock handled
parts, you must specify whether the parts should be consumed; use the displayed dialog box
to accomplish this. However, moving consignment parts between locations can only
be done if the locations belong to the same site.
When a part is moved from one location to another, you have the option to change the availability control if either one of the involved locations have
an availability control defined. When moving a part you can also set a W/D/R
number if you, for example, would like to have different availability controls
for the same part on the same location.
Prerequisites
- The location to which you move the parts must be any of these location types: picking,
pallet delivery, floor stock, or production line.
- To be able to move parts to a site other than the default user site, the site
must have been connected to the user ID on the
Sites per User window.
- Parts should not be frozen for counting at the involved locations.
- To move the parts in project inventory to
a location at a different site, that site must have been defined as an allowed site for the
project in the
Project window.
System Effects
- Parts will be moved among the different locations.
- The
Quantity Onhand field will be changed according to your choice.
- If you choose to enter a note, it will be entered in the inventory transaction.
Note: When considering different inventory and
movement of parts, it is important to note that there are two other
activities—
Transfer To Project Inventory and Transfer To Standard Inventory—that are
included in the Transfer To/From Project Inventory scenario. These activities result
in the movement of parts between standard and project inventories. They do not
result in the physical movement of parts, but shows whether the parts are
connected to a project or not. Similarly the activity Move To Another Site/Stock
Location will only move parts between locations, without changing the connected
project.

- If you are entering a new location, enter a site in the Site
field. The user site is displayed by default. If there are other sites connected to your user ID,
you can change the site by using the List of Values or by entering the proper short code.
- Optionally, you can enter an expiration date.
- If you have chosen to enter a new location, you must select a location by using the List
of Values in the Location No field. You can also enter a short code.
- Optionally, you can enter a note.
- Save when completed. The transaction will be saved if no availability
control is defined for either one of the locations.
- If either one of the selected locations have an availability control
defined, a dialog box will open to aid the changing of the availability
control ID for the selected part.
- If you want to use the availability control used in the location you are
moving to or from, or if you want to assign a new availability control,
select the relevant option in the Set Availability Control ID
section.
- You can also specify a W/D/R number in the Set W/D/R No section. This
value is required if the selected part already exists on the location you
are moving to, and you are assigning a different availability control ID.
- Click OK to save the transaction.
- If
the part is serial tracked at receipt and issue but not serial tracked in inventory, and you are moving the part to a site other than the default user
site,
then a dialog box appears automatically where the serial number(s) to be
moved should be identified. Click OK when completed.
