Removing Items from a Container (Split Handling Unit)

When you take items out of a container, you can add them to another container or designate them as loose inventory.

Split Handling Unit is a transaction belonging to the Handling Unit Sub-Menu on the Warehouse Mobility icon based and list based menus.

On the Handling Unit Sub-Menu:

  1. Select Split Handling Unit.
  2. In the Handling Unit field, specify the handling unit from which the items are being removed. You can only specify handling units that have free inventory and have no children.
  3. In the Qty field, specify the quantity to remove from the handling unit.
  4. In the Add to Another HU? field, specify whether to add the removed items to another handling unit.
    1. If you specify Yes, specify the handling unit in the Add to Handling Unit field. Optionally, leave blank to create a new handling unit.
    2. If you specify No, the items will become loose inventory.
  5. Select Process. If the item is not serial-controlled, the items are assigned to a new handling unit or become loose inventory in Infor LN. If the item is serial-controlled, or needs to be assigned a lot number, the Serial/Lot Entry screen is displayed. On the Serial/Lot Entry screen, specify or review this information:
    Item number
    The item number and description are displayed.
    Quantity remaining
    The quantity that needs to be assigned serial or lot numbers is displayed.
    Generate Serials?
    To generate new serial numbers for the items, select Yes. To scan existing serial numbers, select No. This field is only displayed if the item is serial-controlled, it is possible to generate serial numbers for this transaction, and you have not scanned any serial numbers.
    All Serials?
    Select Yes to indicate that all serial numbers for this item at the current stock point are being used in the transaction. Selecting Yes in this field removes the need to individually scan each serial number. This field is only displayed if the item is serial-controlled and you are performing a transaction using all the items in a stock point.
    Lot Number
    If applicable, scan a lot number to assign to the item. This field is only available if the item is not serial-controlled and needs to be assigned a lot number. If the item is serial-controlled, the item lot number displays in this field after you scan the first serial number.
    Serial Number
    Scan a serial number. This field is only displayed if the item is serial-controlled, you are not generating new serial numbers, and you did not select Yes in the All Serials? field.
    Quantity
    Specify a quantity to assign to the specified lot number. This field is only available if the item is not serial-controlled and needs to be assigned a lot number.
  6. Select Process. The scanned serial number or lot number is processed. If there are additional serial numbers or lot numbers to scan, scan them. If all needed serial and lot numbers have been scanned, the items are assigned to a new handling unit or become loose inventory in Infor LN. Optionally, press X to view serial or lot numbers that you have scanned. Optionally, press Y to reset all scanned serial or lot numbers, so you can re-scan them.
