Overview

Use Inventory Bin Move to transfer and/or break-down/build-up inventory within a location from one bin/lot to another.

Note If you move a product from a not available bin to an available bin, future receipt reservations are allocated.

Transferring Inventory

To transfer inventory:

Select whether to transfer inventory for a specific product or license plate ID.
Enter a product code or name in the Product Code or Product Name fields, or enter a license plate ID in the License Plate ID field. The Location Prefix and Name fields default to the default location for your user ID, and the tracking level of the product displays.
If more than one location exists for the selected product, enter the location in the Location Prefix or Name field. The tracking level of the product will be displayed for informational use only.
If you are transferring inventory for a specific product, enter the to and from bin and unit of measure for the transfer. If you are transferring inventory for a specific license plate ID, enter the bin to which you are transferring products. If the selected product is tracked by lot or serial number, you can also enter the lot you are transferring to and from, and the serial number you are transferring from. The quantity on hand, allocated, and not available display. The total available quantity is also calculated based on those amounts.
If you are transferring inventory for a specific product, enter the quantity to transfer in the Transfer Quantity field.
Click the Transfer button in the ribbon to transfer the inventory.

Note If you attempt to transfer an inventory quantity to an unavailable bin, and the quantity is greater than the quantity allocated to sales orders, a warning message appears, and prevents the transfer. A detailed log file is also output to the folder entered in the Report Directory field in System ID Maintenance or User Profile Maintenance (the folder specified for your user ID overrides the folder specified for the system ID).
