Use this program to repackage items by converting the quantity of an item for a given package size into the resulting quantity of a like item for a different package size, i.e., transfer on-hand quantities from one item to another.
Repackaging requires that the smallest unit of measure for each item be the same. For example, this program could be used to convert one unit of item X (stocked in 5-lb. canisters) into 5 units of item Y (same product stocked in 1-lb. cans).
Updating the on-hand quantities of the items according to the transfer amounts occurs immediately as the transfer is recorded. Two records of the transfer (one for each item) are created in the adjustments file and are available for printing on the next Adjustment Register.
A scrolling feature displays the most recent transactions recorded at the bottom portion of the screen. This provides additional safeguards against user error due to oversight or transaction duplication.
The Item Repackaging Entry (ICE220) program is disabled for any Radio Beacon controlled warehouses.
