## Steps

> [!NOTE]
> Make sure you have already set up the [WMS Move Inventory - Prerequisites](/business-central/docs/bc-wms-move-inventory-prerequisites) for this process.

1. Select the Warehouse Management button in the menu, then select the WMS Move Inventory button in the WMS Menu.

2. The following page appears. Enter location WHITE, or use **F6=Lookup** to select the location from a list of locations where Directed Put-Away and Pick is true. Confirm with **F4=OK**.

3. The next step requests a bin. Enter a non-empty bin or use **F6=Lookup** to show a list of all bins with content. The items are also displayed to make it easier to select the correct bin. Select **F4=OK** to continue. For this demo, select a bin where item Lifecycle Base-150 is located.

4. After the bin is confirmed, enter an item code. Enter item Lifecycle Base-150 or use **F6=Lookup** to show a list of the contents of the bin.

![Select LS-150](https://cdn.document360.io/da662430-6a41-47b1-8c7e-7e4ac37a9756/Images/Documentation/ANY_WMSMoveInventory_4.png)
5. The following step requests the quantity to move. Entering a quantity exceeding the available quantity generates an error. Enter a quantity (for example, one) and press **F4=OK** to continue.

6. Enter a bin to place the item in. Use **F6=Lookup** to select a bin. Press **F4=OK** to finish the move.

7. When the previous step is completed, a new warehouse journal line is generated and scheduled to post via the job queue. Posting usually happens within seconds.

> [!NOTE]

10. Enter item number 80216-T, or use **F6=Lookup** to select it from the list. Continue with **F4=OK**.

![Enter item no](https://cdn.document360.io/da662430-6a41-47b1-8c7e-7e4ac37a9756/Images/Documentation/ANY_WMSMoveInventory_10.png)
