A transfer order is fulfilled by one shipment or by multiple shipments.
You can create a
shipment for a transfer order from the Sales orders (SO301000) window, by clicking Actions - Create shipment.
If you need to create shipments for multiple transfer orders, you can run
the Create shipment process by using the Process orders (SO501000)window.
The shipments will be grouped by source and destination warehouses and
by stock items.
The item quantities on the shipment are deducted from the
Available and Available for shipping
quantities and added to the SO allocated quantity; you can see these
quantities in the
Inventory allocation details (IN402000) window, as well as in other
windows.
You can print a pick list for each shipment by clicking Actions - Print pick list in the Shipments (SO302000) window.
Alternatively, you
can print pick lists for multiple shipments by applying the Print pick lists action
for the selected shipments in the Process shipments (SO503000) window.
You can confirm each shipment by using the Shipments (SO302000) window.
Upon
shipment confirmation, the quantities of items on the shipment are added to the
SO shipped quantity.
To promptly update the item quantities in the
destination warehouse, you can click Actions - Update inventory on the toolbar, and the item quantity is deducted from SO
shipped and added to In transit. (These quantities are
displayed on a variety of inventory inquiries and reports.)
You use the Purchase receipts (PO302000)window to create a transfer receipt
(that is, a receipt of the Transfer receipt type) to record the receipt of the
transferred items at the destination warehouse. You create a transfer receipt by adding the
lines from one transfer order or multiple transfer orders.
A transfer receipt may include
only some of the lines from a transfer order; you can also change the quantity in a
particular line if the items specified in this line were received partially.
On release of the transfer receipt, the item quantity is deducted from the In
transit quantity and added to Quantity available and
Quantity on hand.
(These quantities are displayed on a variety of
Inventory inquiries and reports.)
Thus, the quantity of the item that has been transferred
from the source warehouse to the destination warehouse becomes available for sale.
