Inventory moves

Step 1: Confirm FROM location and product quantity

  • The operator selects the ‘Inventory Move’ from the menu

  • The operator scans the ‘FROM’ location (link to terms glossary)

    • If the location contains no inventory and/or is not valid the system will display an error message and return the operator to scan the location

    • If the location contains inventory and is valid the system will display the product information, location, inventory controls (lot, best before date, and serial and LPN controlled), and the current quantity.

  • Depending on the quantity to move, the operator will select one of the below:

    • ‘Move All’ - Moves the entire quantity in the ‘FROM’ location

      • If the operator is moving the entire quantity to a new location, the user selects ‘Move All’

      • The operator moves to Step 2, and scans the ‘TO’ Location

    • ‘Move’ - This action moves the quantity entered by the operator

      • If the operator is moving only some of the product in the ‘FROM’ location, the user selects ‘Move’

      • If the quantity to be moved is less than or equals the available quantity the operator moves to Step 2 and scans the ‘TO’ location

      • If the quantity to be moved is more than or does not equal the available quantity, the system displays an error message and returns the operator to the ‘Move’ screen




Step 2: Scan ‘TO’ Location and product quantity

  • The operator scans the ‘TO’ location

    • If the location is not valid the system returns the operator to the scan ‘TO’ location screen

  • If the location is LPN-Controlled (link to terms glossary) and the inventory move is for the full quantity, ‘Move All’, the system follows the below steps:

    1. The LPN is systemically moved into the scanned ‘TO’ location

    2. Updates the inventory and creates a inventory transaction against the move

  • If the location is LPN-Controlled (link to terms glossary) and the operator is completing a partial inventory move, ‘Move’, the flow is as follows:

    1. The operator will scan a New LPN (If the LPN is invalid, the operator is returned to the scan the new LPN screen.

    2. The system then updates the inventory and creates a inventory transaction against the move

  • If no more inventory needs to be moved the inventory move process is complete

  • If there are more LPNs to be moved the operator is returned to Step 1
