Move objects and packing units in bulk

You can move multiple objects (or their parts) and packing units to a single new location or back to their individual Usual Locations with the Bulk Move tool.

Before you begin

Make sure that the Object records or Packing Unit records are not open in the background.

Steps

1. Go to the Tools menu, then Location Functions, then click Bulk Move.
   

2. Enter the objects and packing units to move: 

   • Click into the Object table and enter the records or click Get List to open a list from Portfolio.

   • Optional: Tick Assume whole object to be moved if parts are not specified. If you don't tick this option and an object has parts, then during the Bulk Move process you'll be asked to confirm that the part should be moved.

   • Optional: To check if any of the objects are in packing units, click Show Packing Units. If objects are in packing units, you can select the packing unit and it will be put in the Packing Unit table.

   • Click into the Packing Unit table and enter the records.
     

3. In New Location Details, enter the Reason, Date, Time, Authoriser, Mover, and the Location. If you are moving objects or packing units back to their usual locations:

   1. In the Reason field, enter Usual Location.

   2. Click into the Packing Unit field, Location field and External field to automatically enter the default terms. If you enter a location in the Location field, then the Usual Location for each object or packing unit will be updated to this location.

   3. Select Confirm usual location before move.
      

4. Click OK.
