MoversSuite Administration > Administration > Move Type
Move Types define several key elements of an order including branch and general ledger assignment. Users can assign move types through the Type of Move field within Move Information.
|
If a user has a Move Type with the exact name “Interstate” for the branch a new order is being created for, then that order will have its Move Type set to that “Interstate” Move Type. If, however, the download has a mapped Move Type, then the mapped Move Type will get set - the Interstate Move Type will not apply. |

System User Defined Label Override Item | |
You can utilize this section to define labels that override active labels set within the System Wide Options. If you define labels for a move type and that type is assigned to an order, then the labels for this record show within User Defined Fields tab on the order. | |
User Defined Label [1-8] |
Select which System Wide Options label to override. Up to eight labels can be defined. Those labels that indicate *Inactive Field* are those that are set as inactive within the System Wide Options. You can assign a label for inactive fields, however, they will not show in the User Defined Fields tab until they are marked as active within the System Wide Options. |
Caption |
Provide the text of the label that appears in lieu of the corresponding field set within System Wide Options (up to 30 characters). When active, this label displays within the User Defined Fields tab when the move type record is assigned to the order. |
Duplicate Use this function to create an exact copy of the record. Pressing this button opens a new record with all the details of the copied record; you can make changes and press Add to keep the new record. | |
Delete Permanently remove this record from the system. MoversSuite prevents you from deleting a record that is in use by the application, i.e. linked to another record. If you wish to make the type unavailable to users in MoversSuite and to not initially display in this setup listing, then mark it as Inactive (see above). | |
Save Keep changes made to this record. | |
Cancel Discard any changes made since the last time the record was saved. |
