RE: Shop Moves

You need to make sure that you need to record the movement of material to
the next operation.  If you are reporting in sequence, then you may not need
the move transaction.  If you are reporting out of sequence the move
transaction will be of no value.  If material needs to transit between
buildings or plants then the move will help for tracking.

For Data Collection practices at our facility, the person who completes an 
Operation Moves it to the next Operation.

I've been thinking about automatically creating the Move when they clock 
an Operation as Complete.

It seems like a hassle to have to enter the Quantity again when doing the 
Move, especially since they entered it moments ago.

If we trust the employee to Close the Operation, we should be able to 
automatically create the Move based upon that transaction.

Any thoughts on this, or have I missed an obvious condition or gotcha?

Thanks in advance for any comments......
