  3. In the From Item field, specify the item number from which the quantity is to be transferred. This item must exist in the warehouse. The system displays the item number, description, stocking unit of measure, prior to repackaging (before) on-hand quantity.

    If the item is inventoried, but does not exist in the specified warehouse, the system displays the message: "    Item not in this warehouse.".
  4. In the To Item field, specify the item number to which the quantity is to be transferred. The smallest unit of measure of the TO item must equal the smallest unit of measure of the FROM item.
