You can execute unplanned movements of items and license plates between different locations, ensuring inventory accuracy. This process supports both license plate tracked, and non-license plate tracked items. 

  1. On the Home screen of the Aptean Mobile Warehouse app, select the Move icon. 
    The Move screen displays your active location. 


    The active location is set on the User Setup screen and determines the default location for your warehouse activities. 

  2. Scan the license plate number of the items in the active location. 
    The system automatically switches to put mode to prepare for placing the items in the destination. 

  3. Scan the license plate number of the items in the non-active location. 

  4. Scan the bin code where the items will be placed. 

  5. Scan the license plate again to confirm the move. 
    The system creates the necessary item ledger entries, completing the movement between the active and non-active locations either partially or fully. 

The items are moved from the active location to the non-active location.

The system also supports unplanned movements of items from a license plate-tracked location to a non-license plate-tracked location. When performing the partial license plate activity, the system prompts you to scan the destination license plate, which should be a non-license plate-tracked location.

This can be defined in the License Plate No. Non-License Plating Tracked Location field on the License Plating Setup page.


During partial license plate movements, you cannot move items to locations where the Require License Plate Tracking toggle on the Location Card page is turned off.
