Instructional Video

This video on the Location Move section of Flex will help you learn how you can move stock from one location to another on the same site.

On 24th June 2025 the forms were updated and the video will now be slightly different in design but the concept of what it does has not changed.

Press the Location Move button to enter the Location Move screen.

This screen is designed to allow you to

• Pick up stock from location A

• Display stock in your posessions mobile in the warehouse

• Drop off stock in the new location

Stock is moved for a variety of reasons:

Check Digits

If you have check digits enabled the system will request you to enter a check digit, if there is no available label then you can select the “no label” option

Location / Barcode Scanning

You can scan both the location and rotation avoiding the need to manually enter those into the form.n and rotation avoiding the need to manually enter those into the form.

By default this form opens with the PICK option selected.

The PICK option is where you will pick the stock from e.g. Where it is coming from.

How to use Pick up

1. scan or type in the Location Name / Check Digit

2. Select the method you want to use

   1. PART - allows you to take a few items from a single rotation within the location, you can select a few items to then entire location stock of the rotation.

   2. FULL - when you are taking an entire rotation, requires access to confirm the expected quantities.

   3. ALL - taking ALL the stock from the location, requires access to confirm the rotations and expected quantities.

3. When ready press the PICK ROTN to pick the rotations which will then be moved into the lower section of the form.

Stock you PICK is moved in the WMS out of the current location into a temporary location whilst you are moving it around the warehouse.

You can pick as many stocks as you want using this pick option.

The details of the stock you picked and waiting to be dropped will be listed in the table shown in the middle of the screen.

The example image shows what happens when you select FULL option and enter a rotation number.

The example image shows what the screen shows when you select ALL rotations in the location.

It will display

• no of products

• no of rotations

• Total Pallets / Cases / Singles

If you have picked any rotations and tried to leave the Location Move screen, you will receive a pop-up message asking for confirmation. Even if you leave without dropping the stock that you have picked, you can always come back to the Location Move screen and continue the process from where you left off. 

The ‘ALL’ option, will allow you to drop all rotations you’ve picked, into the chosen location. This is the quickest option.

When you press ALL RTN you only need to scan or type the location name, where you wish to drop the rotations.

The number of rotations you are dropping will be given in the DROP button. For example: If you picked two different stocks and press the ALL RTN option then the Drop button will appear as DROP.

Drop Method - MULTI

MULTI will allow you to drop all stock for multiple rotations into different locations if necessary.

Here you can scan or type in the location and choose the rotation from the multiple rotations you’ve already picked, by simply scanning the rotation label or typing in the rotation number.

Drop Method - Part

The ‘PART’ option gives you even more control over dropping the stock

Here you can choose a specific quantity from a specific rotation to drop it in the location of your choice.

For example, You can select a preferred rotation from the list of rotations picked then you can drop 2 cases from the 4 cases of that rotation in one location and the remaining 2 in a different location.

Open

When you press the
DROP ROTN button the selected rotations will be dropped in the location you have given.

Yellow Cloud Icon:

The cloud icon on the top right side of the screen turns yellow from green when the device loses the network connection wherever they’re picking up or dropping off.

In that case, the cloud icon on the top right side becomes yellow until a network is available. When the network becomes available, the moves are uploaded and processed.

Red Cloud Icon:

If you pick/drop a rotation not available in the system, or more quantity than the system knows about, in this case, we could have some failed picks/drops and the cloud becomes red.

You can press this red cloud icon and find your entry that has the error. You can press the entry and the Edit button to correct the data. If you press the Pick/Drop button after the edit the cloud icon will turn green.
