Use this program to enter suggested transfers for inventory items from one warehouse to another. The items may then be printed and checked for accuracy on the Suggested Transfer Report before the actual transfer is entered on a transfer ticket.
Suggested transfers are automatically updated to this file by the IC Replenishment processing. Throughout the sales order entry programs, if items are on backorder, the user may automatically update items to the suggested transfer file. If a line of an order is deleted and a suggested transfer exists, the suggested transfer is automatically removed from the suggested transfer file.
When a special order suggested transfer is created, the system checks to make sure that a suggested PO does not already exist for that order and line and that the order and line do not already exist on another suggested transfer.
