Overview
The Move Records function in Weighsoft should only be used when the original address must remain on the account, such as when there are open orders that need to stay linked to the existing account.
If everything related to the address (e.g., orders, quotes, transactions) needs to be moved, use the steps in the "Move an Address between Accounts" article.
Important: The Move Records function is very powerful and should only be used if you are confident in carrying out the process
Before You Begin

The address you want to move items to
