Inventory Movement (whinr1250m000)

Use this session to move a single stockpoint or handling unit to another location in the same warehouse, without having to use transfer orders. To move multiple stock points or handling units, use the Inventory Movement (Range) (whinr1252m000) session.

Note
  • You can only use this session to move stock points or handling units that are available (that is, not blocked or allocated) on locations of type Pick, Bulk or Staging. To move inventory on locations of type Receiving, Inspection and Quarantine, use the standard inbound and outbound procedures.

  • The destination location must meet the following conditions:

    • Location type Pick or Bulk
    • Not blocked
    • Sufficient capacity
    • Suitable storage conditions
    • Multiple items/lots (if necessary)

  • When you move a handling unit, the following applies:

    • If the handling unit is a child of another handling unit, the handling unit will be detached from its parent.
    • If the handling unit has children, the entire structure below that handling unit will be moved along.

  • In the Warehouse - Item - Stock Point Transactions (whinr1500m000) session, any transactions that result from using the current session, will have:

    • No order or order line number.
    • Not Applicable as Order Origin.

Inventory
Stock Point
Warehouse
A place for storing goods. For each warehouse, you can enter address data and data relating to its type.
Handling Unit
A uniquely identifiable physical unit that consists of packaging and contents. A handling unit can contain items. A handling unit has a structure of packaging materials used to pack items, or is a part of such a structure.

A handling unit includes the following attributes:

  • Identification code
  • Packaging item (optional)
  • Quantity of packaging items (optional)

If you link an item to a handling unit, the item is packed by means of the handling unit. The packaging item refers to the type of container or other packing material of which the handling unit consists. For example, by defining a packaging item such as Wooden Crate for a handling unit, you specify that the handling unit is a wooden crate.

Item
The raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, and sold.

An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or which exist in multiple product variants.

You can also define nonphysical items, which are not retained in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The examples of nonphysical items:

  • Cost items (for example, electricity)
  • Service items
  • Subcontracting services
  • List items (menus/options)
Location
A distinct place in a warehouse where goods are stored.

A warehouse can be divided into locations to manage the available space, and to locate the stored goods. Storage conditions and blocks can be applied to individual locations.

Lot
A number of items produced and stored together that are identified by a (lot) code. Lots identify goods.
Inventory Date
A date that is assigned to items when they are stored. You can use inventory dates to retrieve items based on FIFO (First In First Out) or LIFO (Last In First Out), without carrying out extensive lot control.

The meaning of the inventory date is connected to the outbound priority of LIFO, FIFO, or the product expiry date of the item.

With outbound priority LIFO or FIFO, the default for the inventory date is the system date; however, you can overwrite this so that the inventory date does not have to be equal to the storage date. If the item has a particular shelf life, the inventory date is the product expiry date defined for the item.

Full Stock Point
If this check box is selected, all inventory levels of the stock point will be moved.

Quantity in Storage Unit
The unit in which the quantity of goods stored is expressed.

Destination Location
A distinct place in a warehouse where goods are stored.

A warehouse can be divided into locations to manage the available space, and to locate the stored goods. Storage conditions and blocks can be applied to individual locations.

Serial Number
The unique identification of a single physical item. LN uses a mask to generate the serial number. The serial number can consist of multiple data segments that represent, for example, a date, model and color information, sequence number, and so on.

Serial numbers can be generated for items and for tools.
