HANMOV (Handling and storage instructions)

Cargo/goods handling and movement message

Customer usually sends this message to a logistics provider or a distribution centre and specifies goods movements within a specific warehouse/distribution centre. It doesn‘t necessarily have to be a physical transfer of goods, the change will occur in the information system.

In practice, it is used for warehouse movements between logistics warehouses/warehouse centres (e.g. transfer of goods to the warehouse of damaged goods). Moreover, it is also possible to use it for the so-called "kitting", which is packing several kinds of goods into a final product (often used, e.g. in pharmacy).
