Warehouse Transfers

The Warehouse Transfers Submenu allows transferring of items between warehouses, and while in route, keeps track of in-transit inventory. The various programs allow the creation of suggested transfers, entering an actual transfer (or pulling over a suggested one), printing a transfer ticket, confirming shipment, and printing a register of all shipments. These all relate to the sending, or from warehouse. General Ledger is updated during the shipments register. When the items arrive at the destination, or to warehouse, they are confirmed through the Receipt Confirmation Program. The Receiving Register prints all confirmations since the last register, and updates GL. There is also a Transfer Status Report that can report on any shipments and their status in the transfer process. The Quick Transfer Adjustment is used where no shipping is actually involved, e.g., where two warehouses reside in the same building and stock is simply moved from one shelf to another. This might be done to separate damaged goods from regular inventory (as this is really an adjustment, the audit trail appears on the Adjustments_SMG000_000 Register.)
