Split Inventory Item

This functionality is new as of version 4.1.

Inventory can be Split, Merged, or Moved within the Destination Inventory Area via the ‘Inventory Transfer Request’ screen when the Status is ‘New’, or the ‘Inventory Stocking’ screen.

Inventory can be Split, Merged, or Moved within the Source Inventory Area via the ‘Inventory Pull’ screen.

Inventory can be Split, Merged, or Moved when it’s discovered that the Unique Inventory Attributes, for a Quantity of Inventory in a particular Inventory Location, have changed.
- For example: During the Inventory Transfer Request process, the Inventory Pull process, or the Inventory Stocking process, when the physical inventory is examined, if it’s discovered that the Product is located in an Inventory Location that is different than that listed in the system; or, if some of the Quantity has a different Lot Number, Serial Number, NDC, Manufacturer, or Expiration Date than what is indicated in the system, the ‘Split Inventory Item' menu option can be used to make corrections from within the ‘Inventory Transfer Request’ screen, the ‘Inventory Pull’ screen, or the ‘Inventory Stocking’ screen.
