When to use the Movement Worksheet

When to use the Movement Worksheet

There are times when product needs to be moved to a Pick bin to fulfill the demand on orders for a specified shipment date. Once the orders have been released, this movement can be conducted using the Movement Worksheet. The movement of product for picks should only be completed for released orders for a specific shipment date, before Picks are created and printed. Otherwise you risk moving product from the Bin the Pick is indicating for that Item.

The Movement Worksheet page contains the worksheet in which you plan movements of inventory within the warehouse. The most routine movements you plan are the movements to replenish the bins with the fastest moving inventory. You can also create movements that would not normally be suggested by Ceres, even movements from a higher-ranking bin to a lower ranking bin.

Before using the Movement Worksheet, a batch for each location that will be using Movement Worksheets must be created and linked to that location.
