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

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
