Android Move

The Move Inventory screen allows you to move inventory items from one location to another. When you create an item, you can add which locations it may be.  When you then add quantity, you select in which location that quantity will reside. The Move function allows you to move that inventory from the originally assigned location to another. By moving inventory in the software, you can easily keep accurate records of where all of your inventory is currently located.

The quantity is added on the Add Inventory screen or when receiving inventory.
