Batch Movements

As your batch matures it will be moved through the Nursery from area to area. In order to know where your batch is, and what stock you have in a specific area, you need to record these movements.

A movement is not an adjustment. If you therefor move a batch from one area to another via a sorting or production house where you also adjust the batch, you need to record both the adjustments and the movement.

Capture and Edit Movements

As with adjustments the capture and edit forms are very much the same. The main difference is on the capture form you can enter multiple batch movements and on the edit form you will select the batch that you wish to edit the movement of.

It its unlikely that you will capture multiple movements per batch at one time, however you can capture movements of multiple batches by using the batch selector at the bottom of the form.

When editing a movement you need to select the batch that you wish to edit the movement on.

You will notice that after you have selected the batch and the movements for the batch appear, you can no longer scroll though batches.
