Many countries require that formal shipping documents accompany any movement of goods, even when goods are merely transferred, not sold. If you are using shipping groups, you can record shipping information and generate shipping documents from all the inventory transfer and issue programs when the addresses associated with the transfer-from and transfer-to sites belong to a valid shipping group and the inventory movement codes associated with the shipping group allow transaction type ISS-TR.

Shippers are also supported for the inventory transfer programs when the addresses of transfer from and to locations are associated with a shipping group.

When you are using inventory movement codes to manage shipping, you can also specify default credit and debit accounts that are used for unplanned issues or receipts.

See the Shipping chapter in QAD Sales User Guidefor details.
