How to enter item-to-item transfers

1. Access this program by choosing Inventory Control-->Adjustments-->Item Repackaging Entry.

2. In the Warehouse field, enter the warehouse code for the item to be transferred. Press Enter (CR) to default to the warehouse assigned to the terminal. The system displays the warehouse name and description. Press F2 or the $image\find_shg.gif$ icon to search.

3. In the From Item field, enter the item number from which the quantity is to be transferred. This item must exist in the warehouse. The system displays the item number, description, stocking unit of measure, prior to repackaging (before) on-hand quantity. Press F2 or the $image\find_shg.gif$ icon to search.

If an item does not update inventory (as set by the IC Control flag), the system displays the following message: "This is an uninventoried item. Cannot Repackage.".

If the item is inventoried, but does not exist in the specified warehouse, the system displays the message: "Item not in this warehouse.".

4. In the To Item field, enter the item number to which the quantity is to be transferred. The smallest unit of measure of the TO item must equal the smallest unit of measure of the FROM item. This displays the item number, description, inventory unit of measure, and prior to repackaging (before) on-hand quantity. Press F2 or the $image\find_shg.gif$ icon to search.

If the item does not update inventory (as set by the IC Control flag), the following message will display: "This is an uninventoried item. Cannot Adjust.".

If the item is inventoried, but does not exist in the specified warehouse, the following message will display: "Item not in this warehouse.".

5. In the Transfer Quantity field, enter the quantity of the FROM item to be transferred. This displays the new on-hand quantities for both items. If you set up multiple units of measure on the Item F/M screen for the item entered, you can press F2 or the $image\chum2_shg.gif$ icon to change the unit of measure.

6. In the Transfer Cost field, enter the cost of the TO item per costing unit of measure. Press Enter (CR) to default to the cost of the FROM item converting it to the stocking unit of measure to the TO item.

7. In the Transfer Memo field, enter an optional memo regarding the transfer (up to 25 characters). This memo overrides the item transfer code description that prints on the Adjustment Register. Press Enter (CR) to default to no memo and the item transfer code description prints on the register. Press F2 or the $image\PREVMENU.gif$ icon to default to the memo previously used.

8. At the Post To Usage checkbox, indicate whether to post the number of units transferred of the FROM item to the actual usage in the warehouse/item file.

9. You can:

Press the $image\save_shg.gif$ icon to record the transfer and update on-hand quantities for both items in the warehouse. Upon updating the adjustment, the user fields for this transaction are cleared and scrolled to the bottom portion of the screen and the program returns to the FROM item field to await further item transfers in the displayed warehouse.

Select the $image\stop_shg.gif$ icon to end item transfers. To add additional item repackaging transfers, select the $image\plus_shg.gif$ icon.
