Click Inventory management > Journals > Item transactions > Movement. Click Lines.

Use this form to move items from one inventory to another. Posting this kind of journal generates inventory receipts or issues.

When you create journal lines, inventory posting lines are generated. When the lines are posted, physical and financial receipts or issues are registered. This causes the inventory level and value to change, and related general ledger transactions to be posted to the general ledger.

In this form, you must specify the following information:

Date for the transaction
Item number
Quantity
Cost price
Offset account in the general ledger
Configuration table of the item (if you are using these)
Dimensions that you set up as primary storage dimensions for the item in the Storage dimension groups form in Product information management

Task that uses this form

Delete posted inventory journals
