If your FACTS system is not set up to use Advanced Inventory Management (AIM), use this program to modify suggested transfers or create and modify special orders for inventory items from one warehouse to another. During replenishment the Buyers Control Center automatically picks up back-ordered lines and special orders for both purchase orders and transfers. Suggested transfers are automatically updated to this file by the IC Replenishment processing. Throughout the sales order entry programs, if items are on back-order, you can 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 or in the Buyers Control Center (POE400) program. If the special order is found already in the BCC, the addition is not allowed and a message is displayed indicating that a BCC record was found.
You cannot change the vendor return suggested and actual transfer quantities in Transfer Entry programs. The serial/lot numbers are displayed from the SOCLOT file and cannot be changed.
To access this program, click Inventory Control >Warehouse Transfers >Suggested Transfer Entry.
