Transfers

Transfers record the movement of inventory from one location to another.

The receiving or Transfer To location undergoes the following changes:

  • Increase the quantity on hand (QOH)

  • Update to the current cost

  • Update to the weighted-average cost

  • Update to general ledger accounts

The sending or Transfer From location undergoes the following changes:

  • Decrease quantity on hand (QOH)

  • Update to general ledger accounts

Sites with one location with no inventory movement between sites do not require transfers.

Transferring items to a No Inventory location results in the following:

  • Decreases quantity on hand in the Transfer From location.

  • Does not increase quantity on hand in the Transfer To location as the transferred items are considered consumed/depleted.

  • Updates general ledger records for the depletion

Items are removed from the inventory using Transfers Out option. Customers receiving the Transfers Out items are non-inventory areas such as a sales department or external locations such as local non-profit organization receiving a donation.

The Transaction Unit is the default unit for transfers.

When posting transfers and transfer-out either from open requisitions or on-the-fly, inventory items must be depleted from their respective bins considering the priority.

When posting transfers for inventory items marked for lot tracking, users must either choose the preferred lot from the available lots or just post transfers without choosing any lot.

Eatec can be configured to restrict the creation of transfers on the fly. That is, users must not be allowed to post transfers without a preexisting requisition. When restricted, users can create transfers only by using the requisitions available on the Transfers page.

Transfers display the list of requisitions and transfers associated with the selected inventory under the following tabs:

  • Open Requisition - displays the list of open requisitions

  • All Transaction - displays the list of transactions

  • In-Transit Delivery - displays the list of in-transit delivery transactions
