Move Transaction

You can use the Move transaction to move balance IDs or full containers from one location to another. This transaction can be configured to use the directed putaway logic of M3, to suggest a destination for the items to be moved.

See Configuring Move Transaction Parameters, for more information about configuring this transaction.

This transaction is composed of three screens:

To open the Move transaction, select a transaction profile associated with the Move transaction from the main menu.

Note:  Any time you scan an item number, you have the option to scan an item or the alias number instead.

Search Balance ID screen

Use this screen to search for balance IDs or containers to move. If the Move Full Container (when scan container only) parameter is set to 1, you can move all balance identities in a container, in a single move. You can also move a balance ID from one container to another.

See Using the Search Balance ID Screen.
