When adding animals that you have purchased in, its first advisable to add the Holding that you purchased them from. Add this to your Holdings under Third Party, so you can use this in your movement process. See Manage Holdings for more details.

Also when moving on, its especially important to make sure the individual or group of animals that you are moving on, have been allocated to the right holding.

If adding manually one by one via the Add Animal feature, you can set them on the holding as you add them.

If you import a group of animals via your stick reader, they should default to your primary holding, if you want to add them as a Move On, you'll want to move them to the Third Party holding to move them on from.

See Adding Animals to see how you can make sure you set all your animals on the right holding before creating a Move.
