How to move multiple items from an inbound container

An inbound container can contain several items, which prevents it from becoming a warehouse container on receipt of the items. At the time of posting the receipt, the container remains flagged as inbound but loses its link to the inbound document.

A container now exists that is flagged as inbound, not linked to an inbound document, and contains several items. Handle this container before moving it into the warehouse.

Steps

1. In the search box, enter Containers, and then choose the related link.
2. From the list, select the inbound container that needs handling.
3. On the Container card, from the container lines, select the item you want to transfer to a new container.
4. On the Container card, in the Process group, choose Split Container.
5. On the Container card that opens, enter the Container Type and choose OK.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 until the original inbound container contains only a single item and has become a warehouse container.

The items originally on the inbound container are transferred to the new container, including all information on lot numbers, catch weight, and so on.
