Specific fields and options in the Move Items window include:
Scanning: Indicates input methods
Item Number: By input to the keyboard in the form of the item number that appears on the tag
Item Barcode: By barcode scan
Old Item Number: By keyboard entry; a stock number produced by another system
Old Barcode: By scan of a barcode from a previous system.
Location: Allows you to select a specific location within the store to which the items should be moved. For more about working with locations
Clear: Clears the window. This does not clear the move activity, it just refreshes the window.
Close: Items are saved as you scan. This closes the Move Item window.
Print List: Prints a hard copy list of the inventory. You will be prompted to indicate which portion of the windows to print.

The item listing will appear in the middle portion of the Move Items window and an image, if available, will appear in the lower portion.
