It covers basic and advanced (directed put-away and pick) bin moves, unplanned internal movements, and transfers between locations. It answers which page or journal to use for each warehouse setup. Path: [Business functionality](../../../business-functionality.md) > [Warehouse management](../../warehouse-management.md) > [Internal warehouse processes](../internal-warehouse-processes.md) > Move items · tier official · system warehouse · narrative reviewed (checked by Opus) ## Overview Item movement depends on how complex the warehouse configuration is, from simple bin moves to coordinated advanced workflows. Typical reasons include production orders, bin optimization, replenishment and warehouse restructuring. The section has one overview page and three task pages. For basic warehouse configurations, unplanned moves without source document demand use the Internal Movement page or the Item Reclassification Journal. For warehouses with directed put-away and pick, moves use the Movement Worksheet, Warehouse Internal Pick, Warehouse Internal Put-away or the Warehouse Reclassification Journal. A separate page covers transfers between locations with transfer orders or item reclassification journals. Start with the Move Items overview to see which approach matches your configuration. Then open the page for your setup: basic, directed put-away and pick, or location-to-location transfer. ## Key points - The Move Items overview describes bin movement, the warehouse movement worksheet, internal picks and warehouse restructuring. - Basic configurations: use Internal Movements, Create Inventory Movement and Inventory Movement, or the Item Reclassification Journal, for moves without source document demand. - In basic setups, the Bin Contents List and Split Line help when reorganizing inventory and moving items to production areas. - Directed put-away and pick: move items between bins with the Movement Worksheet, Warehouse Internal Pick, Warehouse Internal Put-away or Warehouse Reclassification Journal. - The directed page also covers bin replenishment and FEFO picking. - Transfers between locations use transfer orders or item reclassification journals. - Transfers can be standard multi-step or direct, with optional in-transit location tracking. - Transfer topics include posting, undoing a shipment, batch transfer posting, job queue scheduling and direct transfer posting methods. ## Learn pages - [Move Items](https://learn.microsoft.com/dynamics365/business-central/warehouse-move-items): Learn about moving items between bins in your warehouse. - [Move items in warehouses that use directed put-away and pick](https://learn.microsoft.com/dynamics365/business-central/warehouse-how-to-move-items-in-advanced-warehousing): This article explains how to move items in locations that use directed put-away and pick. - [Move Items Unplanned in Basic Warehouse Configurations](https://learn.microsoft.com/dynamics365/business-central/warehouse-how-to-move-items-ad-hoc-in-basic-warehousing): This article explains unplanned internal movements between bins without a demand from a source document. - [Transfer items between locations](https://learn.microsoft.com/dynamics365/business-central/inventory-how-transfer-between-locations): Learn how to transfer items, inventory, or stock between locations by using transfer orders or the item reclassification journal. ## Videos, posts and code changes Linked by a Haiku matcher with a grounding quote from the item's summary (link/topics.ts); machine-generated. - [#10072 [main] - Serial and Lot number mismatch when item is produced via Production Order and moved to inventory through an Internal Put-away](../../../../../changes/bcapps/10072.md) (code change): "Registering a warehouse put-away now checks each line" - [#10873 [Master]-The Available to Take logic is incorrect or inaccurate in the Pick Worksheet as it includes Ship and Receive bin inventory](../../../../../changes/bcapps/10873.md) (code change): "The Available to Take logic is incorrect or inaccurate in the Pick Worksheet" - [#10924 [main] Bug 648630 Movement Worksheet Creates Incorrect Warehouse Movement for FEFO Lot-Tracked Items](../../../../../changes/bcapps/10924.md) (code change): "Movement Worksheet Creates Incorrect Warehouse Movement for FEFO" - [#9264 [master] Bin Capacity Policy "Prohibit More Than Max.
