Purpose

Overview

Use Inventory Bin Move Demand Create to transfer and/or break-down/build-up inventory within a location from one bin/lot to another. When you use Inventory Bin Move Demand Create, you can also create bin move demands and create Wireless Warehouse bin move tasks. After you create a Wireless Warehouse task, the task can be managed in Warehouse Task Management.
