How to Make a Stock Location Movable

This manual will refer to transferal of “items”. An “item” in this regard can be a “Spare part” or a “Catalog item” / “Consumable item”.  In order to move an item, it must be placed in a location configured to be movable.  Now this can appear a strange way of doing things, but if you consider the box or container used to send an item as a location it makes more sense.  When items are received, you can transfer them to your ordinary stock locations, and then delete the “movable” one if you do not need it any more.

Here is how you create a movable location. Note that, setting a stock location as movable is only possible at the office installation of TM Master V2.

1. Click [Inventory] → [Stock]
2. Create a new stock location by clicking the [Add root node to tree] .
3. Enter a name for the location. (.i.e. Shipping Container 1) 4. Right click the location and select  “Open”
4. Tick the “Movable asset” check box.
5. Click [Save & Close]
6. The location is now movable and can now be found in the module [Movable Assets] → [Movable stock locations].

Adding items to a movable stock location is done in the same way as for any other stock location. You can drag and drop items from one location to another, or you can open a specific item and add it to the stock location using the stock location selector.
