This page allows you to create and authorize stock status conversion transaction. You can specify the item details, variant details, warehouse details, the UOM of the item stocked in the warehouse, quantity, the stock status from which the item needs to be converted and the stock status to which the item needs to be converted. You can also specify the zone and bin if the item is stored in a “Normal” Warehouse. 

In addition, you can specify the serial and lot numbers of the item in case the item is serially controlled or lot numbered. Finally, you can specify the remark code. The remark code corresponds to the reason code for rejecting or quarantining items that are received from suppliers for storage in the warehouse. The system retrieves the remark description for the corresponding remark code from the “Classes” component and displays it.
