Movement Requests

Movement requests are requests for the movement of material within an inventory organization such as a warehouse or facility.

These types of movement requests exist:

• Requisition movement requests

• Replenishment movement requests

• Shop floor movement requests

Requisition Movement Requests

Requisition movement requests are manually created, and can be used for subinventory transfers and account issues. Once a movement request has been submitted, the movement request is ready to be sourced and transacted.

A movement request creates instructions to pick or move material for warehouse personnel. You can create a requisition movement request to manually relocate stock within a warehouse. You can also create a requisition movement request to issue material out of a certain location. For example, you might want to issue out stock for damaged goods, or to a certain project.

Replenishment Movement Requests

Replenishment movement requests are requests that are generated by min-max planning to replenish material when a minimum quantity for a specific item is reached. Replenishment movement requests replenish material that's sourced from a different location within the same inventory organization. For example, a requisition movement request can be generated to move material from a bulk locator to a fast pick locator.

Shop Floor Movement Requests

Shop floor movement requests are requests to perform replenishment for components needed for manufacturing and maintenance work orders. Shop floor movement requests move materials either to WIP supply locations or directly to the work order from the warehouse locations.

You can create a pick request to inventory for one or more multiple work orders. Warehouse personnel pick the components from warehouse locations in the same manner as is done for sales orders, transfer orders and replenishment requests.
