Move To Another Site/Stock Location
Explanation
Move of part can either be done by specifying a specific part and qty to be moved or by specifying a handling
unit to be moved. When moving a handling unit it means that all the content of that handling unit is moved to the
new location.
When you want to move a part or a handling unit, you can choose whether the parts or handling unit should be moved
directly to an inventory location or be moved to transit. Only the available quantity is possible to move to
transit. If parts are reserved to customer order or shop order demands then it is possible to move those reserved
stock to a different inventory location in the same site. When moving consignment stock handled parts, you must
specify whether the parts should be consumed; use the displayed dialog box to accomplish this. However, moving
consignment parts between locations can only be done if the locations belong to the same site.
When a part is moved from one location to another, you have the option to change the availability control if
either one of the involved locations have an availability control defined. When moving a part you can also set a
W/D/R number if you, for example, would like to have different availability controls for the same part on the same
location.
Prerequisites
- The location to which you move the parts must be any of these location types: picking, floor stock, or
production line.
- To be able to move parts to a site other than the default user site, the site must have been connected to the
user ID on the Sites per User page.
- Parts should not be frozen for counting at the involved locations.
- To move the parts in project inventory to a location at a different site, that site must have been defined as
an allowed site for the project on the Project page.
- To be able to move reserved parts Move Reserved Stock control on Site/Warehouse
Management page should be set to Not Pick Listed, Not on Printed Pick
List or Allowed.
- To be able to move reserved parts they should be reserved to customer order, project deliverable, material
requisition, shop order or DOP order demands.
System Effects
- Parts will be moved among the different locations.
- The Quantity Onhand field will be changed according to your choice.
- If you choose to enter a note, it will be entered in the inventory transaction.
- When moving a handling unit, the content of parts will be moved. All inventory transactions are done per part
and quantity of what is packed in the handling unit. After the move of a handling unit you can see that handling
unit and its structure on the new location.
Note:
- When considering different inventory and movement of parts, it is important to note that there are two other
activities— Transfer To Project Inventory and Transfer To Standard Inventory—that are included in the
Transfer To/From Project Inventory scenario. These activities result in the movement of parts between standard
and project inventories. They do not result in the physical movement of parts, but shows whether the parts are
connected to a project or not. Similarly the activity Move To Another Site/Stock Location will only move parts
between locations, without changing the connected project.
- If you want to use the availability control used in the location you are moving to or from, or if you want to
assign a new availability control, select the relevant option in the Change Availability Control dialog.
You can also specify a W/D/R number in the Set W/D/R No section.
- If the part is serial tracked at receipt and issue but not serial tracked in inventory, and you are moving
the part to a site other than the default user site, then a dialog appears automatically where the serial
number(s) to be moved should be identified. Click OK when completed.
