Transfer modification
Warehouse transfers can be changed in a manner similar to customer orders. You can change the shipto warehouse on the transfer, regardless of the transfer stage.
If your TWL warehouse is the shipping warehouse for a warehouse transfer, you can change transfers that have not been dropped to the floor; that is, an open, unassigned transfer. Access Transfer Entry in change mode and bring up a transfer that has been released to TWL, but has not been dropped to the floor.
As you continue, the transfer line items are displayed and you can make further changes to the transfer. If you continue from a blank line, the Document Print page is displayed automatically. You can reprint the transfer and release the new information to TWL. The changed transfer is displayed in Order Drop Manager and can be dropped for picking.
If a transfer is released by the system, but nothing can be shipped, you can zero ship the transfer in Order Drop Manager. The zero-shipped transfer is automatically cancelled by the system and unprinted backorders that might exist are removed. A zero-shipped transfer can also occur if the transfer was dropped, but the picker could not pick anything on the transfer. This means the transfer is completed, but nothing is shipped. If the transfer must be filled once, run the WL Entry Batch Shipping Report. Then, copy the transfer to another number, because TWL does not process the same number twice
If one or more lines on a transfer order are shipped with zero quantity, a back order is created for the zero shipped lines with the same order quantity. The ship quantity on the back order is set equal to the ordered quantity automatically when following conditions are met:
- The check box is selected on the Product Warehouse Description Setup - Other screen.
- Stock is available.
When the Fill TWL WT Zero Qty Ship if Stock Available check box is cleared, the ship quantity on the back order is set to zero. The user must modify the quantity manually to ship the back order.
The back-order lines are set to the Approved stage automatically when the check box is selected on the Product Warehouse Description Setup - Other screen.
You may you attempt to change a transfer that is active on the warehouse floor. Active means that the order is in pick, picked, packed, shipped, ship verified, hold, or discrepancy status. If you attempt this change, a message is displayed in Transfer Entry indicating the TWL order is in process and other changes cannot be made.
As with orders, you can make changes to these transfers as long as the changes do not affect the warehouse. For example, you can change the freight charges, but changes to the quantity or product cannot be made. If changes that affect the warehouse must be made, you must contact the person responsible for the transfer, to undrop the transfer.
