Overview

see also Warehouses and Stock Locations

Move orders take stock from one warehouse to another warehouse that you own - or another companies warehouse where you continue to own the stock (it is on consignment).

The stock is picked and placed into a staging location.  From here you can palletise and await the arrival of the vehicle

When the vehicle arrives - print the waybill and confirm the stock has left.

When the stock leaves the first warehouse it is placed into a temporary transit location until it arrives at the new warehouse

• Hence the value of the stock is still in stock, it is visible and you can see the value of the shipment at any time

When the stock arrives in the new warehouse it is taken off the vehicle and placed into a staging location

The stock is then moved from the staging location into the warehouse locations using defaults based on stock preferred storage locations

 Move orders are created by the system when a purchase order has distributions - see below.

Finding move orders

Filter on Dispatch date or ETA date.

Single Step Move Orders - warehouses that are very close together

When the warehouses are managed by the same team and there is no transit time - there is no need for pick / pack / ship / receive and a one step move order will suffice 

Filter the list of stock, choose the stock and bay, enter the quantity and bay being moved to in Warehouse 2 - the stock is moved when the status of the move order is updated.

Multi-Step Move Orders with Pick / In Transit / Receive / Variations processes

ETA date

Created by Purchase Order Receipt when the PO has a Warehouse Distribution

The Purchase Order > Warehouse Distribution Tab indicates where the stock is to be sent when it arrives.

The stock will initially Land at the Warehouse nominated by the Purchase Order

The user will be prompted if they want to add these to an existing move order if any exist - or create a new one.
