Move

Form ID: (AM302000)

On this form, you can enter the quantity of completed and scrapped items for the operations of production orders. A single move transaction can include lines for any number of production orders. When you enter a completed quantity for an operation that is not the last operation of a production order, the system moves the completed items to the next operation of the production order and assigns the Completed status to the current operation. For the last operation of the production order, the system creates an inventory receipt on the Receipts (IN301000) form to track the movement of the completed items to storage.

Alternatively, you can enter the quantity of completed or scrapped items by using the Labor (AM301000) form. You may want to use the current form instead of the Labor form if you do not need to enter labor time for particular operations, such as when labor is backflushed for these operations.

Tip: In move transactions, you can include operations of only regular production orders—that is, orders whose production order type has the Regular function selected on the Production Order Types (AM201100) form.

The quantity of completed items for the production operation.

If the Quarantine is selected as the scrap action for the specified operation on the Production Order Details (AM209000) form, in this column, you enter the quantity of scrapped items. The system copies the value you enter to the Scrapped Qty column of this line.

If you need to correct the completed quantity entered in a labor or move transaction that has been released previously for the same operation, you can specify a negative value in this column. See Reversal of Production Receipts for details on how to reverse production receipts if the previously released transaction represents the completed items for the last operation of the production order and the system has created an inventory receipt for the items.

UOM The unit of measure used for the item quantity.
Warehouse

The warehouse where the completed items are moved if this line represents the completed items for the last operation of the production order.

By default, the system inserts the warehouse specified in the production order. You can specify another warehouse, if needed.

Location

The warehouse location where the completed items are moved if this line represents the completed items for the last operation of the production order.

By default, the system inserts the warehouse location specified in the production order. You can specify another warehouse location, if needed.

Lot/Serial Nbr. The lot or serial number assigned to the items in this line if the items are lot- or serial-tracked. You click the line and then click Line Details on the table toolbar to open the Line Details dialog box, where you can specify the lot or serial numbers.

Receipt Nbr. The reference number of the inventory receipt that recorded the movement of these items to a warehouse. You must specify the receipt number in this column if both of the following conditions are met:
  • You have specified a negative quantity in the line.
  • The item has a valuation method of FIFO specified on the Stock Items (IN202500) form.

The system makes sure that the quantity in the line is less than the quantity in the receipt; if it is not, the system displays an error message.

Qty Scrapped

The quantity of items that were scrapped during the operation.

You enter this value manually if the operations has the No Action or Write-Off scrap action specified. If the operation has the Quarantine scrap action, this box is unavailable. When you specify the scrapped quantity in the Quantity column, the system copies the entered quantity to this column.

Reason Code

The reason code, which provides the GL account that the system uses for posting the cost of scrapped items if the option in the Scrap Action column is Write-Off or Quarantine for the production order operation.

You must enter a reason code when you record scrap for an operation with one of these scrap actions.

Scrap Action

The scrap action, which the system copies from the operation settings on the Production Order Details form. You can select another scrap action if needed.

The scrap action can be any of the following:

  • No Action: The system does not calculate the scrap cost separately. When workers record scrap in a move or labor transaction for a production order, the system adds the scrap cost to the total cost of the production order.
  • Write-Off: The system posts the scrap cost to the scrap expense account. A reason code specifies the scrap expense account and subaccount.
  • Quarantine: The system posts the scrap cost to the scrap expense account and creates an inventory adjustment for the scrap quantity and value.

This column is hidden by default.
