Recording ad-hoc move facts

The operator opens the document and switches to the Execution tab. The + action opens the fact dialog.

Fact entry​

Unlike the planned scenario, there is no plan row to pick from — the operator builds the whole row from scratch:

  1. Source — kind (cell or container) and the specific identifier.
  2. Target — kind (cell or container) and the specific identifier.
  3. Product — chosen from the catalog or by scanning; optional product feature and lot.
  4. Quantity — full or partial; optional pack-type change (repack).
  5. Save — the fact is committed.

The row dimensions work the same way as for plan rows:

Each relocation row describes what, from where, and where to you move.

The source and target of a row are each one of two kinds — a cell or a container — giving four combinations:

Cell → Cell — the most common case: moving goods between storage areas (for example, consolidating partial pallets from a pick face into a reserve aisle).

Cell → Container — packing goods from a cell into a container (for example, to stage a shipment or to move loose goods on a carrier).

Container → Cell — unpacking a container into storage cells (for example, breaking down a received pallet onto the rack).

Container → Container — moving the contents from one container to another (for example, consolidating two half-full bins).

Pack-type change (repack)​

A row may also change the pack type of the goods: the source pack type and the target pack type differ, while the quantity in the base unit of measure stays exactly the same.

Example: a product is stored as cases of 12 units. You want to put it on pallets of 144 units. In a single row you set the source pack as "case" (source quantity = 12 cases), the target pack as "pallet" (target quantity = 1 pallet), and the base quantity stays 144 units.

Repack is available in both planned and ad-hoc scenarios — it is a property of an individual row, not of the document.

Stock-balance check​

The same source-quantity check applies as in the planned scenario: if the source does not hold enough goods, a localized error appears and the fact is not persisted.

Auto-completion​

The operator does not press a Close action — after the fact is saved the system moves the document to Completed automatically. To record another ad-hoc move the operator simply creates another document (see Creating an ad-hoc document); the server may attach the new fact to an existing same-hour document of the same operator and warehouse, transparently.

On PDT

On the PDT, facts are entered in the same zone form on the ADD tab — also without any pre-bound product or source.
