Transfer Orders
Transfer orders are created by an inventory planner, using the Transfer Order Maintenance conversation. With the requisition search function of this conversation, the planner can view open requisition lines for an item and select lines to be covered by a transfer order line ('A' in the figure below). The planner may increase the order line quantity to be greater than the total selected requisition line quantities for an item ('B' in the figure below). Or, the planner may create a transfer order line without a corresponding requisition line. ('C' in the figure below). If a requisition line is attached to an existing transfer order line (with an existing quantity) the transfer order line quantity is increased by the requisition quantity.
Sample Transfer Order
Note: The order line quantity must be greater than or equal to the total of any selected requisition line quantities for an item.
Inventory is allocated to fill transfer order lines at the warehouse level. The quantity allocated cannot exceed the quantity available. If inventory on hand is insufficient to cover a transfer order line, the inventory on hand is allocated and a message is displayed informing you of the inventory shortage. The transfer order line is updated to show the line order quantity, shipped quantity, and the reserved (allocated) quantity.
If only partial allocations have been made toward an order line, the planner may manually increase the reserved quantity for the order line when inventory becomes available. Such manual allocations are limited by the following criteria:
· The reserved quantity must be less than or equal to the available quantity. (No over-allocations are allowed.)
· The reserved quantity must be less than or equal to the line unshipped quantity.
You may determine item availability using the stock status inquiry, which may be accessed by pressing F9 - Stock Status from the Transfer Order Maintenance Multi-line screen.
Once all the required order information is entered, a transfer order line is generated to cover existing requisition lines. The status of the covered requisition lines is changed to covered. The received quantity on the transfer order line remains at zero until the time of the receipt, when the actual receipt quantity is entered on the receipt screen.
Covered requisition lines are available for inquiry and reporting purposes only. No maintenance functions are allowed until the line is received or canceled.
