Shop Floor Movement

Use the Shop Floor Movement (ISFM) program to request the movement of material between the stockroom and the production floor. The entry process is used to verify the correct item is picked and made available to the production floor. When the two items are not the same the transaction is recorded as an error and you are not allowed to continue the movement. All transactions, including errors, are logged and can be displayed by Shop Floor Movement Inquiry (ISFQ). If the item is moved from consignment inventory, purchase order and receipt transactions are created (similar to those created when the Move Consigned Inventory (IVM) program is used).

Field Name	Type / Max Length	Action / Description
Requested item no	Required 24 alphanumeric	This is the item being requested by production. The operator typically scans an existing empty container or a component item bar code on a manufacturing shop order. The nature of this request restricts the use of a lookup. Information about the item, including description, unit of measure and quantity on hand, is displayed.
Requested by	Required 5 alphanumeric	The person requesting the item.
Issued item no	Required 24 alphanumeric	The item that is physically pulled from stock. The bar coded label on the stock is scanned and compared to the requested item. If the two items are not the same an error is logged and the transaction is not allowed to continue.
Quantity	Required 10 numeric	The quantity of the item being moved in the stocking unit of measure.
From location	Required 10 alphanumeric	The item's stocking location (warehouse and bin location are concatenated) can be entered or selected from the lookup. For controlled items, the lookup displays the control numbers stocked at the various locations. The control number field is completed when when a controlled item is selected from the lookup. If the item is not controlled by warehouse and bin location, the entered data is simply written to the log file for information; there is no impact on inventory.
Control number	Conditional 16 alphanumeric	If the item is lot or serial controlled, a valid control number must be entered. If the From location was selected from the list of available locations, the control number defaults to the one selected.
To location	Required 10 alphanumeric	Where the item is being moved to (warehouse and bin location are concatenated). Typically is a location assigned to a specific work center, allowing for backflushing of the component stock as a part of the production process. If the item is not controlled by warehouse and bin location, the entry is written to the log file.
