Inventory Count Movement Orders

The system automatically raises, processes and closes movement orders when writing-on or writing-off inventory. This creates receipt records if inventory is being written-on, or issue records if inventory is being written-off. When creating the movement order, the process of creating a movement order manually is used by the system. Therefore, all functionality within a movement order is applied.

When selecting the action Post within Inventory Count Entry, or the action Approve and Post within Inventory Count Approve - Post, movement orders are automatically created. Only two orders are created. One for write-on's and one for write-off's. Each count line creates a line within the relevant movement order. The system automatically creates the movement orders, processes each stage, and closes them when completed.

If required, a movement order can be held after being created by the inventory count, and before being closed. This allows you to amend a movement order if required. This could be required in order to add analysis to a line, change value label values, or amend allocations.

If a movement order is held, you must manually release and confirm the line. There is no inventory count functionality to close a held movement order.

Business rules can be applied to a movement order raised due to an inventory count.
