Location Movement is the term used to describe the process of changing the location of certain Locations (prototypically "crates") from one place to another.
See Crates and other mobile containers for use cases.
Below two workflows are described which implement Location Movement (with wireframes), and further below a functional description of the changes required to database content to accomplish this change of state.

- User visits or creates a Storage Location record which has the "Movable" option selected.
- User clicks on the "Move" button (which only appears for Locations which are movable and which the user is authorized to move). A popup allows user to select a new (parent) Location for this Location. (Alternatively, there is no "Move" button, but when the user attempts to alter the BT value in the hierarchy subform of a movable location, the Move popup appears.)
- User specifies the new location, enters any additional crate move data required, and clicks Save on popup or other control (i.e. dismisses popup/control).
- User clicks Save, which "creates new from existing", a new Storage Location record with the desired properties.
