Issuing and Receiving Between Sites
You can receive or issue items at a site other than the order creation site. There are two basic scenarios:
• Receive completed items at a site other than the order.
• Issue items to a site other than the order site.
In the first scenario, you receive at Site 2 a work order created at Site 1. First, a receipt transaction is created at Site 1, the order site. Then an issue transfer transaction is created at Site 1, subtracting the received quantity. A balancing receipt transfer transaction is then created at the receiving site, Site 2. Scenario One shows this transaction for a quantity of 100.

In the second scenario, if you issue components from Site 2 for an order created at Site 1, an issue transfer is first created at Site 2, the issuing site. Then a receipt transfer is created at the order site, Site 1, and then the issue work order transaction is created, again at Site 1.

You can specify the issue or receipt location and site on any of these transactions. However, if the order site is defined with automatic locations set to No, the item’s default location must exist at the order site. For example, if the part master site and location are Site 3 and Location 99, you would need to create Location 99 at the order site, Site 1, before you could execute the issue or receipt transaction.
Note: You can specify the item’s default location for all sites in Item Master Maintenance (1.4.1); however, since locations often vary by site, you can set up site-specific values in Item-Site Inventory Data Maintenance (1.4.16).
If you are using shipping groups and inventory movement codes, you can enter shipment information and generate shippers during work order issues. The system looks for a shipping group with matching addresses for the issuing and receiving sites and with inventory movement codes that include ISS-WO.
