The Move module allows you to move items in the warehouse through a scan sequence. Scanning an item, MU, or location barcode initiates the move process. We recommend physically moving the inventory during or directly after the time that you confirm your move to ensure full accuracy.

This article reviews how to move inventory using SmartScan's Move functionality.

To move inventory using SmartScan, you must have the following permission assigned to your user role: Mobile Scanner > Move Module > Mobile Move. If you also need the ability to move inventory that is currently allocated to orders, you must have the 'Allocated Stock Move' feature enabled for your account via Admin > Settings and the following permission assigned to your user role: Mobile Scanner > Move Module > Move Allocated Inventory.

Guidelines

Log in to SmartScan. Ensure the appropriate 'Warehouse' is selected from the drop-down list, then tap the Move module.

Continue reading below to learn how to complete each type of move.

Move items

Move individual items from one warehouse location to another using the following steps.

Please note that any items not in a specified location cannot be moved because SmartScan requires a source location to move inventory. Additionally, moving partial quantity from a MU removes the MU altogether.

1. Tap Item.
   
2. Scan a SKU/UPC barcode; or enter the SKU name, then click Add Item.
    If there are results for multiple customers, select the appropriate customer, then tap Select.
   
3. Scan the barcode of the source location, or manually enter the location name, then do the same for any track-by's associated with the item. If these are manually entered, tap Add Item.
4. A new dialog opens that lists each item matching the specified location and track-by's. Enter the quantity for the item you'd like to move in the 'Move Qty' column, then tap Done to receive a confirmation message.
   To view additional details of an item, tap the blue chevron to the left of the 'Move Qty' value.
   
5. Tap Next, then scan the barcode or manually enter the name of the destination location and/or MU label.
6. Tap Next to open the Move Summary. To finalize the item move, tap Confirm Move to receive a confirmation message.
   
7. Repeat these steps for each item you wish to move.

Move movable units

Move entire pallets, or other types of MUs, from one warehouse location to another using the following steps.

1. Tap Movable Unit.
   
2. Scan or manually enter the source MU label, then do the same for the destination location. Tap Next to open the Move Summary.
3. To finalize the MU move, tap Confirm Move to receive a confirmation message.
   
4. Repeat these steps for each MU you wish to move.

Move locations

Move all inventory from one warehouse location to another using the following steps.

Please note that any items not in a specified location cannot be moved because SmartScan requires a source location to move inventory.

1. Tap Location.
   
2. Scan or manually enter the source location, then do the same for the destination location. Tap Next to open the Move Summary.
