In your folder rule you'll automatically get a variable named document. So if you can use other calls to get a handle to the folder node you want to move it to, you can call that move function.

Looks like you'll also want to create a new folder to place that document in. So you'll want to call createFolder on the parent to create the new folder before you call move on the document.

var strDestFolder ="sites/KD/IT/SOP/";
var objDestFolder = companyhome.childByNamePath(strDestFolder);
document.move(objDestFolder);

if the destination folder is not the same you may generate a path variable from eg the node (document) name. won´t work if the destination folder does not exist or you don´t have correct permissions (needing delete in the source path).
