B. HOW PRODUCTS MOVE THROUGH THE UNIFIELD LOCATIONS
For processing day to day transactions, it may not be necessary to know the technical aspects of Internal Moves, but the following table may be useful to understand how each transaction in UniField will move products from one location to another. In the pick/pack/ship full shipment process, products will usually initially be in a stock (e.g. “LOG” or “MED”) or in cross docking.
The picking process will transfer them from this location to the “Packing” location. The packing process will transfer them from the “Packing” location to the “Dispatch” location“. Finally, the shipping process will transfer them from the “Dispatch” location to the “Distribution” location and from the “Distribution” location to a customer (partner) location.
| Source location | Destination location | Remark | |
| Picking | Stock or Cross docking | Packing | When sub PICK is “Closed” |
| Packing | Packing | Dispatch | When PPL is “Closed” |
| Shipment | Dispatch | Distribution | When shipment is “Shipped” |
| Shipment | Distribution | MSF Customer/Other Customer | When shipment is “Closed” |

Go to: Products / Products / Products
