Setting up Movement Order Entry form - Line Actions

To carry out one of the following actions for the current Movement Order Line only, select it from the Action > Line menu within the Movement Order Entry form.
Specify this information:
Delete Line

Deletes the current line from the current movement order. A warning message is displayed so you can confirm this action before it is carried out.

Insert Line

Inserts a new line on the current movement order.

Hold and Release Line

Hold prevents further processing from being carried out until the Release option is selected.

Confirm Line

Confirms the line and changes the details in the Confirmation Date, Confirmation Period and Confirmed By fields.

Copy Line

Copies the selected line and inserts the copy onto a new movement order line.

Split Analysis

A maximum of ten analysis codes may have been set up for your system so they can be selected against a movement order line. This option displays the Movement Order Line Entry Split Analysis form which enables you to split the values of a line against different analysis codes. Enter the required value and select the relevant analysis code.

Cancel Quantity

This enables you to cancel part of the total quantity of a line and to specify a reason code against it. For example, out of stock. This option displays the Movement Order Line Entry Cancel Quantity form. All fields on this form are automatically populated from the current movement order line apart from the following:

Cancel Quantity

The amount of the total quantity to be cancelled from the movement order line.

Reason Code

The reason for the cancellation.

Landed Costs

This enables you to apportion the landed costs for the movement order line.

Inventory Inquiry

This displays the Inventory Inquiry form which enables you to find out the inventory balance of an item.

Print Line

To use this function a document format must be associated with the current stage of the movement order.

Embed Std Para on Line

This option displays the Standard Text Language Variants form. This form enables you to attach a paragraph to the line to be printed.

Allocate Line

This enables you to perform the auto-allocation function. You may need to do this because the system has only partially allocated the movement order quantity because of a lack of stock, and the remaining quantity is now available; or because there has been a failure of the auto-allocation at a previous stage. This action is only available when inventory is being issued and not received. An alternative way to allocate is to use the Manual Allocations action as described above.

This action can be used that are either manually or automatically allocated. Items that are not allocated cannot use this action. If the line has been closed and/or inventory has already been issued (that is, the issue is actualized), then this action cannot be performed. It is independent of the allocation stage settings on the movement type.

This action is also available in Movement Order Control Desks.

De-allocate Line

This enables you to de-allocate any inventory that has previously been allocated to a movement order line. This is regardless of whether the allocation has been made manually or automatically. This action is only available when inventory is being issued and not received. An alternative way to allocate is to use the Manual Allocations action as described above.

This action can be used for items that are either manually or automatically allocated. Items that are not allocated cannot use this action. If the line has been closed and/or inventory has already been issued (that is, the issue is actualized), then this action cannot be performed. It is independent of the allocation stage settings on the movement type.

This action is also available in Movement Order Control Desks.

Re-process Line
- Re-process Line: This action enables you to perform all validation and processing that occurs when a line is entered. Some of the activities carried out are:
- Recalculate formulae and value labels if the Recalculation field is set for the current stage on the Movement Type Definitions Stages Setup form.
- Perform auto-allocations for issue, if not already allocated, and the allocation stage defined in the movement type has been passed.
- Update inventory (that is, create receipts and issues) if the update failed at an earlier stage.
- Set a line to Held if required (for example, if item characteristics have been removed).
Enter Serial Numbers

This action displays the Movement Order Line Serial Number Entry form on which you can enter serial numbers manually. If you enter serial numbers in this way, they are automatically allocated.

Note: You can manually enter a range of serial numbers for issues, using the Serial Number - From and Serial Number - To fields on the movement order line. You can enter a from number without a to number.
Save your changes.
