About Multi-Site Transfer Order Serial Number Tracking

• Warehouse A ships to a Transit Location (it is maintained at Warehouse B).
• When Warehouse B receives the item, it is moved from the Transit Location to a Stock Location within Warehouse B.

When you move inventory via a multi-site transfer, the transfer is a two-step process:

1. Inventory is moved from a permanent location to a transit location.
2. Inventory is then moved from the transit location to a permanent location.

These tables illustrate this process.

Serial Number Tracking When FOB = Site B

Site A Permanent Inventory	Site A Transit In	Site A Transit Out (Status)	Site B (FOB Site) Transit In	Site B Transit Out	Site B Permanent Inventory
I	Same S/N	Same S/N Transit			Different S/N Out of Inventory, Not Used, or New
A	Same S/N	Same S/N Transit			Different S/N Out of Inventory, Not Used, or New
J	Same S/N	Same S/N Transit			Different S/N Out of Inventory, Not Used, or New
R	Same S/N	Same S/N Transit			Different S/N Out of Inventory, Not Used, or New

In this example, an item is transferred from Site A to Site B, where the FOB Site is Site B. Regardless of the status of the serial number used (I, A, J, or R), the item is transferred to the transit location with the same serial number, and out of the transit location with a status of Transit. It is then moved into permanent inventory at Site B, where it is assigned a different serial number with a status of Out of Inventory, Not Used, or New.

Serial Number Tracking When FOB = Site A

Site A (FOB Site) Permanent Inventory	Site A Transit In	Site A Transit Out (Status)	Site B Transit In Status	Site B Transit Out Status	Site B Permanent Inventory
I			Same S/N Out of Inventory, Not Used, or New	Same S/N Transit	Same S/N
A			Same S/N Out of Inventory, Not Used, or New	Same S/N Transit	Same S/N
J			Same S/N Out of Inventory, Not Used, or New	Same S/N Transit	Same S/N
R			Same S/N Out of Inventory, Not Used, or New	Same S/N Transit	Same S/N

In this example, an item is transferred from Site A to Site B, where the FOB Site is Site A. Regardless of the status of the serial number used (I, A, J, or R), the item is transferred to the transit location associated with Site B, and is assigned a serial number with a status of Out of Inventory, Not Used, or New, and out of the transit location with a status of Transit. It is then moved into permanent inventory at Site B, where it is given the same serial number.
