Move Parts from storage location to a new location / from lot to another lot

[tkuschel]

I often lend materials to students. That's why I use new locations for this purpose.
However, it is very tedious to move components from one location to another within the tool, as you have to use the following workflow:
1.) Edit the part
2.) Go to “Stocks”
3.) Add stock
4.) Storage location (choose or create a new one) with Amount 0, Last stocktake update to today (valid date & time)
5.) Save Changes
6.) Nice to have an Expiration Date per stock :-)
7.) Go back to the detail info view of a part .. Go to Stocks as shown here

It would be much more efficient if, when clicking on the “Move parts from lot to another lot” button, you could select the storage location and enter the quantity to be transferred (the same as before) in the same way as in point 4 above (possibly also with an expiry date).
The workflow would be much easier to follow.
It would also be great if Purchasing could pick components directly from the “Purchasing” warehouse, then the components would come to my desk and I could “move” them to the respective warehouse. Then you could also see the transfer correctly. What do you think about implementing this? Can I also help to add this functionality?
Thanks for your great work, de Thomas

I agree with this. It would be very useful to have this as a 'checkout' style thing where our users can scan a product code, and then transfer it from a stock shelf into another location, or back into stock once they are done. I think the existing menu is quite close to what we would want, just add an option after the existing stocks to move to new stock, and be able to give it a description. The button would then never be grey-ed out and inactive.

I have filed PR #1500 to address this as above.
