This area manages inventory transfers and distribution orders that transfer from one site to another when the sites are not within the same site group (intersite transfers). The system reads transaction history records with receipt activities that have a tr_qty_loc that is less than 0 (zero). The value for these transactions is from the issuing site’s Periodic Costing cost.

When the system has not processed the issuing site, then for WAVG, the cost is from the previous period. For FIFO, the cost is from the earliest period with an unconsumed quantity. In both cases, once the issuing site’s cost is known, then the system makes a correction and the difference is then booked to the discrepancy account.
