Transfer exception receipts

A transfer exception receipt is created when the quantities that were received do not equal the quantities that were shipped. If stock is lost in transit, damaged, or miscounted, you must account for the difference to finish the transfer.

Because the quantity discrepancy exists with the shipping warehouse, the correction is made in that warehouse using Transfer Exception Receipt Entry. This table shows the corrections that can be made.

Circumstance	Action	Adjustment to Shipping Warehouse Quantity
Received quantity less than shipped quantity. Inventory found in shipping warehouse.	Adjust On Hand	On hand quantity is increased In-transit quantity is decreased
Received quantity is less than shipped quantity. Inventory is damaged, defective, or unavailable for sale in the shipping warehouse.	Adjust Unavailable Inventory	Unavailable quantity is increased
Received quantity is less than shipped quantity. Inventory is not found in either warehouse and considered lost.	Adjust Stock Inventory	No inventory quantity is changed A journal adjustment is created for the lost inventory
Received quantity is greater than the shipped quantity. Received quantity is greater than the shipped quantity. Inventory was incorrectly counted or entered at the shipping warehouse.	Adjust Ship From (Negative Difference)	On hand quantity decreased A backorder transfer must be processed manually.

After corrections are made, the transfer is updated from Stage 5 (Exception Receipt) to Stage 6 (Received), and the exception journal is closed.
