This activity is used to schedule or to directly perform a storage optimization job that will trigger a move of any part to a location that better fits the location criteria for the part. You can specify the selection criteria to limit the scope of the locations from where parts can be moved. The parts can be moved to any location at the selected site. A transport task will be created to perform the actual move of the part.
The inventory part must have a putaway zone ranking in order to be moved.
If possible, transport tasks are created for inventory parts that can be moved to a better inventory location according to the putaway zone ranking. Any constraints, for example, weight or volume are taken in to consideration.
You can either perform a storage optimization job directly (procedure A or B) or schedule the task as a background job (procedure C).
