Move All Inventory from One Location to Another

Use the Location Movement (RFLOCM) program to move items/control numbers from one location to another location within the same branch. You can use this feature if, for example, you receive manufactured items to a staging location and want to move them in bulk to a shipping or put away area. It can also be used to move mixed pallets, if you assign the pallet as a “location”, without having to scan individual item or serial numbers.

If some of the items are in consignment, a warning message is displayed and you can continue: if you opt to continue the consigned quantities are moved to the new location along with the on hand. If some of the items are obligated, the obligation will be re-assigned to the new location.

See Background and Road Map for more information.

Instructions are written for Keypad mode. If you are operating in Scan mode respond with Return, Enter, Tab, or line feed where required.

Scan data for these fields:

Field Name	Type / Max Length	Action / Description
Br	Required 4 alphanumeric	Accept your default login branch or scan a branch whose inventory you want to move. The branch must be in your inventory group.
FR Loc	Required 2 alphanumeric 8 alphanumeric	Scan the current location in one or two scans, depending on your login branch setting. If your option setting requires two scans, an entry for at least one of the two fields is required. If the warehouse map is active for the specified branch, the location must be valid; it does not have to be an active location (allowing you to move inventory out of inactive locations).
TO Loc	Conditional 2 alphanumeric 8 alphanumeric	Scan the destination warehouse and bin location, in one or two scans depending on your option setting. If the warehouse map is active for the specified branch, the location must be valid and must be an active location. The "to" location (To Loc) cannot be the same as the "from" location (Fr Loc).
Adj code	Conditional 10 alphanumeric	The default adjustment code set up in System Options Maintenance (XM) (RF Program Options, Default code for location change) is displayed. If the Enter adj code for invty moves? option is set to to allow entry/override, TAB to accept the default or scan a different code to track the type of movement you are making.

The program displays the number of items and the total number of pieces found in the "from" location and prompts Update? (Y/N/Show)

Choose the appropriate options:

To	Do This
Update inventory and move any obligation to the new location	Scan Y.
Cancel the move and scan another move	Scan N.
Show the items and quantities found in this location for verification	Scan S. The program will show the items and their on hand quantities in the location you are moving from. If there are more items to display than can fit on one screen, you are prompted More? (Y/N) to continue the display; scan Y to display more; scan N to end the display. At the end of the display, the program prompts Tab to continue; scan Tab/Enter to return to the movement update. After displaying the items, the program prompts Update? (Y/N).

Choose the appropriate options:

To	Do This
Update inventory and move the items, including consignment quantities, to the new location	Scan Y.
Cancel the move and scan another move	Scan N.

If there are any items already obligated to orders, the obligation is removed first, the inventory movement is done, and then the inventory is re-obligated to the orders.
