Resize Movement
Convert damaged, scrap or long components into smaller usable components by decreasing one item and increasing another—fully reversible.
Purpose
Resize is used to convert one component into one or more different components. Examples include:
Cutting an 8ft tube into two 3ft tubes
Splitting a long brace into several shorter braces
Modifying damaged components by resizing them into usable forms
Resize movements decrease the original component and increase the resulting components. Every Resize is fully reversible, ensuring mistakes can be corrected safely.
How to Access
Open the main menu → Inventory → Bulk Updates
Click the yellow + button to begin a new Bulk Update.
Step-by-Step Workflow
1. Open Bulk Update
Click the + icon to start a new update.
2. Select Movement Type

Notes

3. Edit Inventory Information
Use the search bar to locate items.
Show All Items Toggle
The Show All Items toggle controls how inventory items are displayed in the Inventory Information table.
How It Works
OFF (default)
Hides all inventory items.
Once you edit or add quantities to items, toggle the list off again to only display the times you have chosen to update, adjust or modify.
ON
Displays every inventory item in the yard, allowing you to browse, search, or edit any component directly.
This helps reduce on-screen clutter during stock take operations by showing only the relevant items you are adjusting.
Recommended Use
Toggle ON → All components are visible
Select items and apply Edit Qty values. Toggle OFF → Only the items you edited remain visible, making review simpler before approval
Specify Components Being Modified
Decrease the original component
Enter a negative value into Edit Qty. Example:
Cutting 3M Standard → Enter -1
Increase the resulting components
Enter positive values for each new component. Example:
Producing one 2M Standard → Enter +1
Resize supports multiple outputs from a single input.
Note: If you need to resize a component into a component that does not yet exist in your inventory, you must add the new component into the system first.
Only once the new component exists can you:
Select it in the Resize table
Enter the positive Edit Qty to add the resized quantity into that stock
Resize movements can only increase inventory for existing component records.
If the target component hasn’t been created yet, it will not appear in the dropdown, search bar, or table.
