Transfer

Inventory Transfer

If you have items that are located in more than one location and need to move the quantity on hand from one location to another, you can use the Transfer option in the Inventory Management to execute this task.

Note: There must be a quantity on hand for the item you wish to move.

Prerequisite:

Ensure that Inventory Transaction Codes are added to the dictionary.

Open the Item Master.

Creating a new location:

  1. In the Item Master select the item to which you wish to add the location.
  2. Click in the Location info section of the Item Master page.
  3. Select the Location you would like to add for the item from the drop-down list. You should have added locations on the Supply resource location prior to doing this.
  4. Location is a mandatory field when a new line is added. If you do not select a location the system will present an error message when you save the screen.
  5. Enter any additional information such as Shelf / Bin.
  6. Click Apply to save the changes.

Note: There can only be one Default location on file for any item. If you would like to make the new location the default for this item click in the box labeled Def (default) to select this location as the default.

Transferring supplies
