The Move Available Inventory option allows for moving inventory between Styles, Colors and/or Product Codes. A similar option is available in the Inventory Maintenance module in the Edit Inventory Item screen under the Options menu, where it appears as Move Inventory (Available) and is used for moving a single roll (see Inventory Maintenance section for full details). Only Available inventory will be moved. If any inventory is currently assigned, it will stay with the current record. All Cost, Freight, Overbill, Vendor Invoice #, etc. information will transfer with the moved inventory. Additionally, a Pointer Record will be written for both the old and new inventory record, and an Audit Detail record will also be created. This is handy for B2B conversion, among other uses. From this option, you can move all Available rolls/inventory within a Single Color (Edit All Colors is unchecked) to a new Catalog Item or Product Code. The Move Available Inventory box appears as follows:
To Move to a specific existing catalog item (1), use the fields in that section to identify a specific Catalog Item to move the inventory. This is the preferred scenario for B2B conversion as the inventory should be moved to an existing B2B Catalog Item with a B2B Sku so the system will match to that item for future updates. If the B2B Catalog Item has not been imported, contact your Vendor Rep to have it added to your import and then go back and move the Inventory once the item has been imported. If the item is dropped, you can decide if you want to move the inventory using the option below, or leave where it is until the inventory is gone and then drop the Catalog item.
To Move to new product code (2), use the drop-down menu to select an existing Product Code. If the Catalog Item or Color does not exist under that Product Code, the system will automatically create the Catalog Item. Click the Move Inventory button to move the inventory.
Another scenario involves moving a Style and All Colors to a new Product Code. You need to first check the Edit All Colors box for this to work. The screen will now appear as follows:
Click the Move Inventory box to complete the process.
