After a move order has been approved, you must allocate the move order lines and then transact the move order, to complete the transfer of items to the destination subinventory or account. A move order can have multiple move order lines. Each move order line is a single request for the movement of material.
You can either transact all the move order lines at once or transact one detail line at a time as the items are moved. You can only query approved move order in the Transact Move Orders window. See: Overview of Move Orders.
You can cancel move order lines that have no allocations. You can select an individual move order line, or multiple move order lines. It does not matter if the move order lines belong to different move orders.
Note: You can cancel move order lines only for move order requisitions and replenishment move orders.
When you transact a quantity smaller than allocated for a pick wave move order, you can enter the missing quantity. There are two types of quantities for move orders.
Confirmed Quantity: The quantity to transact.
Missing Quantity: The missing quantity for the move order.
When there is a missing quantity, you select the type of missing quantity when you update the move order allocation.
Navigate to the Transact Move Orders window.
Suggestion: Enter search criteria and click Find to locate the move order lines you want to transact.
The Transact Move Orders window displays move order lines returned by your search criteria.
Select the move order lines you want to allocate.
Click Allocate to populate detailed suggestions into move order line allocations with specific source locations.
Save your work.
You can choose to view or update details (see procedure below) or exit the window to print a pick slip before transaction.
In the Transact Move Orders window, select the move order lines you want to view or update.
Click View/Update Allocations to display the Transact Move Order Line Allocations window. This window shows details about the move order line.
Review, and if desired, update the following data where permitted (view-only fields cannot be updated):
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Material Classification Code | Defines the material classification code for the selected item. This column is available only for material classification tagged at sales order or internal sales order pick items. |
| Subinventory | Defines the source subinventory for the selected item. |
| Locator | Defines the source subinventory locator for the selected item. |
| To Locator | Defines the destination locator for the selected item. |
| UOM | Displays the unit of measure. |
| Requested Quantity | Displays the quantity listed on the move order line in the primary unit of measure. |
| Quantity | Defines the quantity you want to transact. You can enter 0 as the transaction quantity for pick wave move orders without any missing quantity. If you enter 0, the system deletes the allocations and the move order line remains released to warehouse. This provides redirecting material for other sales orders at the time of pick confirmation without backordering and repicking the line |
| Allocated Quantity | Displays the quantity allocated for the move order in the primary unit of measure.
Additional Information: The following error message may appear if you try to decrease the quantity for packed allocations (such as an LPN packed quantity): Transacted quantity should be less than or equal to the available quantity. This message appears because you cannot specify the LPN in the Transact Move Order Line Allocations window. However, this error typically will not occur when performing loose allocations. |
| Secondary UOM | Displays the secondary unit of measure if the item is under dual unit of measure control. |
| Secondary Requested Quantity | Displays the requested quantity that is listed on the move order line in the secondary unit of measure. |
| Secondary Quantity | Displays the quantity that you want to transact in the secondary unit of measure. |
| Secondary Allocated Quantity | Displays the quantity allocated in the secondary unit of measure. |
| Reason | Defines the transaction reason. |
| Reference | Defines reference information about the move order line. |
| Missing Quantity Action | The action to perform on the missing quantity. This field is required if the quantity confirmed does not match the allocated quantity. |
Optionally, to view and update lot and serial numbers, click Lot/Serial.
Optionally, click Select Available Inventory to manually select the inventory to transact. See. Manual Move Order Allocation for more information.
Click Update to save information in the above fields (this will not transact the lines).
From the Transact Move Order window, when allocations are created for a move order line, you can review or modify the allocations in the Select Available Inventory window.
From the Tools menu, select Select Available Inventory to display the Select Available Inventory window.
This menu item is enabled when the move order is pre-allocated without lot (for lot control); for example, in the pick release process for a lot-controlled item when the organization parameter Allocate Lot is set to No.
Additional Information: The Select Available Inventory menu item may not be enabled in the following situations:
For pick wave move orders when there are no high level reservations (even if the move order is not pre-allocated).
On the Select Available Inventory window (move order header), if you select the available inventory and click Done.
