system.mes.inventory.move

Description

Moves inventory from the MES based on the provided parameters.

Permissions

This method requires the INVENTORY.WRITE.MOVE permission.

Syntax

system.mes.inventory.move(**moveRequest)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Nullable	Description
type	String	True	The type of request defined by the LotRecordType Enum. It is internally set and must not be modified, as changes may break functionality.
quantity	Double	False	The quantity to move from the location.
unitOfMeasureSymbol	String	True	The symbol of the unit of measure for the quantity.
lotIdOrName	String	True	The ID or name of the inventory lot to move.
materialIdOrPath	String	False	The ID or path of the material being moved.
sourceLocationIdOrPath	String	False	The ID or path of the location from which inventory will be moved.
destinationLotIdOrName	String	True	The ID or name of the inventory lot the moved material is handed over to at the destination. Recorded as the lot record's secondary lot so track and trace can draw an edge from the primary lot to this lot. Leave it unset for an ordinary move that keeps the same lot at the destination. A name that matches no existing lot creates one. Recorded for traceability only, neither lot's quantities change.
destinationMaterialIdOrPath	String	True	The ID or path of the material for the destination lot. Only needed when it differs from materialIdOrPath.
destinationLocationIdOrPath	String	False	The ID or path of the location the moved inventory goes to.
operationId	String (ULID)	True	The ID of the operation moving this inventory.
inventoryOperationId	String (ULID)	True	The ID of the inventory operation related to this move action.
productionOrderIdOrName	String	True	The ID or name of the production order associated with the move.
materialReasonCodeId	String (ULID)	True	The ID of the material reason code to add additional context.
startDate	Instant	False	The start date and time of the move. Default value is Current Instant.
endDate	Instant	True	The end date and time of the move.
ongoing	Boolean	False	Indicates whether this request is ongoing. Default value is false.
destinationInventoryName	String	True	The name of the inventory the moved inventory goes to.
notes	String	True	Notes related to the move request.
spare1	String	True	Additional field for user-defined context.
spare2	String	True	Additional field for user-defined context.
spare3	String	True	Additional field for user-defined context.

Lot genealogy

Name destinationLotIdOrName to record the lot the moved material is handed over to, so track and trace can follow it from the primary lot into that lot. The link is recorded on the inventory lot record as its secondary lot, and is what getLotTraceGraph follows when it draws the genealogy. Naming a lot that does not exist yet creates it. No quantity arithmetic changes, the link is recorded for traceability only.

Returns

Returns a JSON representation of an inventory lot record for a Move Request.

Code Examples

# Generate the object structure for a new move request object with no initial arguments
newRequest = system.mes.inventory.newMoveRequest()

# Set basic attributes for the new move request
newRequest['materialIdOrPath'] = 'Bottle/Milk'
newRequest['sourceLocationIdOrPath'] = 'DairyFarm'
newRequest['destinationLocationIdOrPath'] = 'DairyCo'
newRequest['quantity'] = 610
# (You can continue setting other properties as needed here)

# Move the inventory
movementLotRecord = system.mes.inventory.move(**newRequest)

# Output the JSON representation of the lot record of the movement
print(movementLotRecord)
