Add a new ad-hoc movement

Use the Event editor to add a new ad-hoc movement event. An ad-hoc movement is a one-off custom movement.

Difference between routine and ad-hoc movements

• A routine material movement is a predefined movement that contains predetermined details such as source equipment, material type, quantity to move, destination equipment.

• An adhoc material movement is a one-off material movement that you can create manually to account for special circumstances.

An ad-hoc movement does not follow the same strict business rules as a routine movement. It is possible to use materials and material classes that are not predefined. This is so that you can capture one-off movements with unusual parameters.

To add a new ad-hoc movement

1. On the Event editor, click the arrow next to Add Event.

2. Select Ad-hoc Movement from the drop-down menu.

   

3. Enter or specify the details of the new movement event into the Event editor. For more information on the movement event details, see Ad-hoc movement event details.

   Note If you do not specify contributor values to store with the movement record, then the contributor values configured on the movement item are used.

   

4. Click Save.
