Transfer inventory from Advance warehouse location to basic warehouse location

Posted on by M bilal

Hi Business Central Community,

I am trying to Transfer my inventory for all items from my location-A (Advance warehousing) to location-B (Basic warehousing) using a Transfer order. And for that, It is required to switch off the 'Directed Put-away and Pick' boolean on location-A (Advance warehousing) along with all open warehouse activities deleted.

For that purpose, I have deleted all the picks, putaways, and movements associated with the items on Location-A (Advance warehousing). But still, If I try to disable the 'Directed Put-away and Pick' boolean following error appeared.

Moreover, I am new to business central, If you can suggest a better way to transfer inventory from Advance warehouse location to Basic warehouse location then it will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

RE: Transfer inventory from Advance warehouse location to basic warehouse location

I assume you are just trying to manipulate data and not actually shipping all your inventory. Regardless, you should be doing all of this in a sandbox first to dial in your process before doing anything in your production system.

You can do a negative Warehouse Adjustment (or Whse. Physical to zero) for your Advanced Warehouse and a positive Inventory Adjustment (of Physical with Quantity) for your Basic Warehouse. This should be pretty quick to create within a Config Package. You would need the Warehouse Item Journal and Item Journal tables in your package. Just don't forget to post the Item Journal Warehouse Adjustment after you do the negative Warehouse Adjustment.

Your BC partner should be able to help you with anything you don't understand from above.

The easiest way to do this is to use an reclassification journal to move the inventory from one location to another.

Then you make sure your item costing is consistent during the transfer.

You can read more about it in the documentation here:

But we can use a reclassification Journal only when have to move the inventory from one basic location to another basic location.

Hi NorthW ,

I assume we cannot transfer inventory from advance location to basic location until the Directed Put-away Boolean is off on the advance location.

Then your option is to use a transfer order as described here:

Hi Bilal,

It is not recommended to make 'Directed Put-away and Pick' boolean = False.

However, if you want to move stock from Advanced Warehouse Location to Basic Warehouse Location you can use Movement Worksheet to fetch the actual data available in you Advanced Location then copy the fetched data into your Transfer Order, you can use config pack (transfer line table = 5741) to upload it (If you try to get the Bin Contents on Transfer Order it will throw you an error called 'Directed Put-away and Pick must be equal to 'No' in Location: Code=NORTH. Current value is 'Yes'.') then you can follow the process based upon your location setup to Ship & Receive the data to complete the transfer cycle.

Else, you can follow as Ben suggested, i.e. do the -ve adjustment for Advanced Location then make a +ve adjustment for Basic Location.

RE: Transfer inventory from Advance warehouse location to basic warehouse location

Hi @Business Central User

I have got all the items & inventory against them in my transfer order using conf. package[Table 5741] and tried to register the warehouse picks so then I can post the warehouse shipment but I am unable to have qty picked for some of my items due to which I am unable to post the shipment.

Any suggestions/ideas of how can I overcome this or where is the issue basically?

Thanks

Hi M bilal,

Before Creating / Registering Picks make sure you have sufficient stock available with you to proceed ahead. For this make sure the Qty. used in Warehouse Shipment is free to transfer/register in your warehouse i.e. there should be no Reservations against the quantity and existing Warehouse Lines (Pick Card) against the Item, then try to Create the Pick and Register it.

Hope it helps.

Hello Bilal,

can you confirm me, are you going to use Bin code on the Basic Warehouse location or not.?
