How do you change 1 item variant to another without an item journal

Bilbo007

We are moving a company that make rubber bales to NAV 2013R2 now.
They only have a handful of items, but requires many variants (+-15 per item).

*BUT* they need to move the bales between variants without item journals, i.e. only as a warehouse movement.

What would be the best way to achieve this?
Thanks

Obviously, a warehouse movement is not supposed to change the item moved.

You need to consume the old variant and acquire the new one.

You could customize the Reclass Journal, create a special purpose journal yourself or maybe use assembly or production.

best you goto "/Departments/Warehouse/Inventory" and use "Item Reclass. Journal".
show additional columns "variant code", "new location code", "project code", "new project code", eventually the "bin code" fields.

Item Reclass Journal does NOT work - because you don't have "new variant code" field.

Example: Item A, variant 1 needs to be changed to Item A, variant 2.

Since new variant code is not available, you cannot change the variant for the item...

Thanks, this is what I suspected - will just customize the Reclass Journal then. Any examples perhaps?
