Making a Component Movable

To be able to transfer a component from one unit to another, you have to add the component to one of your Movable component categories. Note that, setting a component as movable is only possible at the office installation of TM Master V2. 

To make a component movable:

1. Start and log on to TM Master V2 at the office using an account with the correct user rights (ref chapter movable user rights).
2. Click Inventory | Components | Double click the component you wish to turn into a Movable component.
3. Click the “Specification” main tab → Click the “Movable Component” sub-tab, found in the bottom of the “specification” form. (ref image)
4. Tick the “Movable asset” check box.
5. Select the “movable component category” for this component.
6. Click Save.
7. If the component, you configured as movable has any sub components you will be asked to confirm that they too should be made movable. All subcomponents of the component will be set as “movable”.

This is the “Movable Asset” tab found on the Component specification form.  

To make a stock location movable:

This manual will refer to transferal of “items”. An “item” in this regard can be a “Spare part” or a “Catalog item” / “Consumable item”.  In order to move an item, it must be placed in a location configured to be movable.  Now this can appear a strange way of doing things, but if you consider the box or container used to send an item as a location it makes more sense.  When items are received, you can transfer them to your ordinary stock locations, and then delete the “movable” one if you do not need it any more.

Here is how you create a movable location. Note that, setting a stock location as movable is only possible at the office installation of TM Master V2.

1. Click Inventory | Stock.
2. Create a new stock location by clicking  Add root node to tree.
3. Enter a name for the location. (.i.e. Shipping Container 1).
4. Right click the location and select “Open”.
5. Tick the “Movable asset” check box.
6. Click Save & Close.
7. The location is now movable and can now be found in the module Movable Assets | Movable stock locations.

Adding items to a movable stock location is done in the same way as for any other stock location. You can drag and drop items from one location to another, or you can open a specific item and add it to the stock location using the stock location selector.
