Transfers
A transfer is a movement of inventory to a new location. You can use three kinds of inventory transfers: single item, multi-item, and transfer with lot/serial change.
• Use Transfer–Single Item (3.4.1) to transfer a specified quantity of a single item from one location to another. If inventory status codes specified in the From and To fields differ for an item, you can select the one to be used.
• Use Transfer–Multi Item (3.4.2) to transfer more than one item from one location to another. Only entire quantities are transferred—not partial quantities. This transaction generates a report showing the items and quantities transferred.
• Use Transfer With Lot/Serial Change (3.4.3) to transfer a specified quantity of a single item from one location to another and change the lot/serial and lot reference numbers associated with the item.
• Use Batchload Transfer With Lot/Serial Change (3.4.4) for the same purpose as 3.4.3. However, this program also supports CIM loading of inventory information by allowing you to specify values for fields that are prompted for interactively in the standard Transfer With Lot/Serial Change.
This is especially important when using CIM load to transfer data between the system database and an external system.
The system checks the GL calendar to ensure that the effective date specified for a transfer is within an open fiscal period. The default effective date is the system date. If a shipping group exists for a transfer, you can create a shipper for the transferred items.
