The system displays the Import Suggested Transfers program at the conclusion Transfer Entry header creation. The program checks to determine if there are any suggested transfers for the current warehouses. If so, the system displays the Import Suggested Transfers dialog box to import the suggested transfers into the new transfer. You can also access Import Suggested Transfers form the menu option for importing suggested transfers. You can also import suggested transfer onto an already existing transfer.
The system displays all of the valid suggested transfers on file for the From/To warehouse of the transfer. In the browser the import flag is set to "Yes" when the window is first loaded and displayed. If the available quantity in the "from" warehouse is less than the suggested transfer quantity, then a "!" will display in the second column.
The "from" warehouse quantities display for the highlighted line in the unit of measure of that line (what is showing in the browser). If the suggested transfer is a special order, the Inquiry button is enabled and you can access the SO Document Inquiry program with that document loaded.
You can press Toggle to change between Yes and No for the Import setting in the browser, to the highlighted line to "Yes" or "No".
You can toggle between Yes and No for the Import setting in the browser to set all to "Yes" or select to set all to "No" by using the All button.
When you select the "Done" button, the program reads the suggested transfers that are flagged "Yes" to import into the transfer document. The suggested transfer quantity defaults into the requested quantity of the line. If the suggested transfer is from a sales order, the UM will now be the selling unit of measure instead of being forced to the default stocking UM. The available quantity defaults into the committed quantity and the remainder will be backordered. If the suggested transfer happens to no longer be on file because another user imported it already, the system displays the message "Suggested transfer no longer on file" and the program will proceed.
