Inventory Transactions

Inventory Transfer

You can use the Inventory Transfer transaction to move unallocated items from one location to another, either within a warehouse or between warehouses. Only use this transaction for unplanned item transfers. For planned transfers, where separate picking and receiving processes are required, use the Picking and Receiving transactions.

If you are moving items in containers or from containers, as opposed to "loose" inventory items, you must specify handling units.

Item Inquiry

Use the Item Inquiry transaction to look up the on-hand, allocated, and free inventories of a specified item. When applicable, you can view item serial numbers, lot numbers, inventory dates, and handling units. The Item Inquiry transaction shows a list of all locations with free quantities, based on item, warehouse inputs and project pegs.

Location Inquiry

Use the Location Inquiry transaction to view the inventory quantities at a location. You can view on-hand, allocated, and free quantities in addition to, when applicable, item serial numbers, lot numbers, inventory dates, handling units and project pegs.

Block and Unblock Lots

Cycle Count

Use the Cycle Count transaction to verify inventory quantities of specified items. After cycle count sheets are generated in Infor LN, you can view the count list on the scanner by specifying the warehouse order number. You can then verify the item quantities at stock points and record your physical counts in Infor LN within this transaction.

To ensure that the correct items and stock points are counted, you can use the transaction parameters to require users to scan the item number, location, and lot number. If there is a mismatch between the scanned values and the selected count item, an error message is displayed.

Physical Inventory

Use the Physical Inventory transaction to verify the inventory at specified locations in your warehouse. Scan item quantities at warehouse locations to create accurate physical counts. Any variances between these counts and the records in Infor LN are recorded for investigation. Inventory records for locations in Infor LN are automatically adjusted to match the physical counts.

Print Item Label

Use the Print Item label transaction to print a label for an Item, Handling Unit, Serial Number or Lot Number.

Global Transfer

Use the Global Transfer transaction to move the contents of all stock points at one location to another location within a warehouse. For example, if a location is damaged or affected by an environmental hazard, such as moisture, you may need to move all inventory out of that location. Both available and allocated items are relocated when you use this transaction. You can only use this transaction within a location-controlled warehouse. To relocate from one warehouse to another, you must move each stock point individually using the Inventory Transfer transaction.

Inventory Adjustment

Use the Inventory Adjustment transaction to adjust inventory quantities at a stock point.

Write Off

You can use the Inventory Write Off transaction to decrease an item's quantity at a stock point.

Write On

You can use the Inventory Write On transaction to increase an item's quantity at a stock point.
