Move Confirmation is the process of verifying and validating inventory movements<\/strong> \u2014 especially transfers that are set up as \u201cIn Transit\u201d \u2014 before the system finalizes them and updates warehouse stock levels. This ensures that what was expected to move<\/em> has actually moved<\/em> in the right quantities and conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a movement document uses a document type that requires confirmation, iDempiere automatically creates a Move Confirmation record<\/strong> that must be completed before inventory is updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Move Confirmation Importance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Provides control and verification<\/strong> of internal stock movements<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ensures accurate inventory counts and reduces discrepancies<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Supports quality and audit checks on warehouse transfers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Helps maintain integrity in multi-location logistics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Before the inventory is updated, the system waits for confirmation that the destination actually received the correct quantity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


    Inventory Movement Creation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    A user creates an Inventory Movement<\/strong> document to move stock from one location to another (e.g., between warehouses or zones). If the document type is set to In Transit<\/strong>, the system knows it requires confirmation once the goods arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Generate Move Confirmation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Once the movement document is completed, iDempiere automatically generates a corresponding Move Confirmation document<\/strong>. This document captures the intended movement and becomes the record to confirm actual receipt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Verify Confirmation Quantities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In the Move Confirmation window<\/strong>, users will see the movement lines with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Target Quantity<\/strong> \u2013 Expected quantity to move<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Confirmed Quantity<\/strong> \u2013 Quantity actually received<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Difference Quantity<\/strong> \u2013 Any discrepancy between expected and actual<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Scrapped Quantity<\/strong> \u2013 Quantity scrapped due to damage or quality issues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Process Confirmation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Once the confirmed quantities are entered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • You complete (or process) the Move Confirmation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • iDempiere updates the inventory counts accordingly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        If there are differences, additional actions such as Physical Inventory adjustments<\/strong> may be created automatically to reconcile stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The Move Confirmation<\/strong> in iDempiere is a vital control step in the inventory lifecycle. It ensures that the system only updates stock levels after physical receipt is verified<\/strong>, helping you maintain accurate inventory, reduce discrepancies, and support quality and audit practices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
