Inventory Movement Codes – Global Shipping
Exercise: Inventory Movement Codes Setup
Create Inventory Movement Codes
Your company now ships to customers throughout Europe. Accounting practices require that shipments to Europe use a unique inventory movement code. In this exercise, you create three inventory movement codes.
1 Use Inventory Movement Code Maint (1.1.9) to create three inventory movement codes: one that specifies sales order shipments within USA, one for sales order shipments to international destinations, and one for non-sales internal transfers.
Field | Record 1 | Record 2 | Record 3 |
Inventory Movement Code | DOM-SALE | INT-SALE | INV-TSFR |
Description | Sales Within USA | Sales To International | Internal Transfers |
Transaction Type | ISS-SO | ISS-SO | ISS-TR |
Transaction Flow | Outbound | Outbound | Internal |
2 Use Inventory Movement Code Browse (1.1.10) to verify all available inventory movement codes.
Set Up Inventory Movement Code Security
• Can restrict which inventory movement codes can be used at a site and who can use them
• Grant or deny access to individuals and groups when using a specific inventory movement code at a particular site
• When a shipper is created, the system checks inventory movement code security records to determine which inventory movement codes are available, based on the Ship-From site of the shipper
• This level of security does not affect whether a line item from a given sales order or other originating transaction can be added to a shipper
Inventory Movement Code Security
• Inventory Movement Code field and Site field used together as key fields
• Specify the user IDs and/or Roles who are granted or denied access
Set Up Carriers
• The carrier name, address, and tax ID is required on shipping documents in some countries
• Shipments often require more than one carrier
• Can assign a series of carriers to each address in a shipping group
• Carriers are listed sequentially based on their role in the transportation of inventory
