Move Orders are similar to ‘Subinventory Transfers’. Subinventory transfer is single step process, but move orders are two/three step process. Move Order Transfer is used to transfer within and across subinventories.

• Step-1: Requestor requests the material by entering move order details
• Step-2: Requestor’s manager approves the move order request (this is optional step, you can have move orders auto approved or configured through workflow approval process)
• Step-3: Move order is transacted, confirming the material move. Onhand inventory is adjusted based on move.
