Change Location for Container

This instruction explains how to move containers between locations. A container is for example a pallet on which deliveries and receipts are loaded. The container number in combination with item number, location and the quantity result in a unique balance identity.

Outcome

A container is moved between two locations.

The entire container is moved with the related balance identities that are stored there.

All physical stock transactions are stored in the MITTRA table.

  • On the 'Item. Open' (MMS001/E) panel, enter parameter 1 in the 'Inventory accounting' field.
  • On the 'Item. Connect Warehouse' (MMS002/G) panel, enter parameter 2 or 3 in the 'Storage method' field (storage at several locations).
  • For container movement, enter parameter 1, 2, or 3 in the 'Container management' field, on the (MMS002/G) panel.
