Movement Orders Within Inventory Count

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 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.

Note: It is strongly recommended that no other information relating to the inventory is amended, such as item code, quantity, location, batch reference, expiry date and so on. If the data relating to the inventory is amended, the movement order will be out of step with the inventory count data.

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.
