Transfers move inventory between branches without creating purchase orders and incurring additional procurement costs. You can use transfer orders to procure an unavailable item for an order or reduce the number of items that a branch needs to purchase. In addition, you can replenish branches by transferring surplus stock from one branch to another and balance inventory between your branches.
Note: You can receive an open generation of a transfer on a closed shipped generation without needing to reopen the closed period.
To receive a transfer:
From the Xfers menu, select Transfer Order Entry to display the Transfer Body screen.
In the Ship From Branch field, enter the transfer order number you want to receive. Press F10 to select from a list.
In the Recv Qty field, enter the quantity you received for each product.
If your screen does not contain the Recv Qty field, use the View hot key and select Qty Shipped / Qty Recvd to change the Transfer Order Entry view.
Press Esc to access the Status screen.
Place your cursor on the Open Received line and change the Open status to Received. The P/O Receiver Report for the receiving generation prints.
Note: If you are receiving material for a different branch, the system may warn you that you are receiving material for a branch that is different than the terminal's branch assignment. Accept the warning to continue to receive material for a different branch.
Use the P/O Receiver Report to identify any tagged items and place in the appropriate staging area in your warehouse.
Place a special order label on the material.
Continue verifying all material received.
