Use this program to enter and correct transfer tickets, which contain items to be transferred from one warehouse to another.
The Transfer Entry screen consists of two sections. The upper portion of the screen is called the header portion where the FROM and TO warehouses, request date, etc. are entered. The lower portion of the screen is called the line-item portion where items, quantity information, etc. are entered.
You have the option of changing, adding or removing line-items, or deleting the transfer ticket at any time. Deleted tickets are not simply removed from the file. You also have the ability to back order warehouse transfer line items. This program provides a complete audit trail of all transfer ticket numbers used. When you add a new transfer, the program checks to ensure that the transfer ticket number being assigned does not already exist in the transfer history header file. A deleted ticket’s line-item records are removed and the header record status is changed to deleted. The transfer ticket appears on the next Receiving Register as a deleted transfer ticket and is removed in the register update.
A number of additional features are available in the Transfer Entry program:
Transfer tickets are available for printing using the Transfer Ticket Print program. Shipments from the FROM warehouse are confirmed through the Shipment Confirmation. Shipments are then updated by the Shipment Register to then appear on the Transfer Status Report until receipts are confirmed by the TO warehouse in the Receipt Confirmation.
During processing, the system automatically displays urgent notes for transfer ticket headers, lines and items based on your settings on the Notes tab of Transfer Entry Options F/M. Refer to the Viewing/Entering Notes from IC Transfer Entry Programs topic for additional details.
The Transfer Entry program checks to determine if the transfer you are going to change has been waved by Radio Beacon. If is has you will not be able to modify it, if it has not, the system sends a ‘nuke’ record to Radio Beacon causing this transfer to be removed. The transfer then need to be reprinted in order to get it sent back down to Radio Beacon.
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.
