The Plan-to-Move cycle is a Term describing the collection of processes a company has implemented between developing a distribution schedule (from the distribution plan) and recording the goods receipt at the destination Warehouse or Distribution Center. The objective of Plan-to-Move is to distribute (move, transport) goods in the distribution network to support actual and/or anticipated demand.

The span of processes involved depends on the Supply Chain Configuration and process architecture, but typically involves Source and Deliver processes. The scope of Plan-to-Move typically includes:

• Creating and Scheduling Stock Transfer Orders
• Pick, Pack, Load and Ship at origin
• Receive, unload and put away at destination
• Approving carrier invoices

Forecast-to-Plan provides inputs to Plan-to-Move.

Alternative names for Plan-to-Move include: Plan-to-Distribute, Distribution, In-Network Movements.
