Receiving updates for warehouse transfers

After all warehouse transfers are received and posted in Transfer Receipt of Inventory Entry, you must update General Ledger and Inventory Control, close the journal, and possibly run the Sales Entry Processing Back Order Fill Report. These condensed lists include the many updates that occur.

Inventory Control/Product

  • Addons from the shipping warehouse are re-averaged when addons are included in the cost of the product. Addons are distributed to all line items based on the Distribute By setting in Product Warehouse Description Setup for the receiving warehouse.

    If the ship to and ship from warehouse are not set up in Product Warehouse Description Setup to capitalize addons, the addon amount is posted to your suspense account during Transfer Shipping Entry and Transfer Receipt of Inventory Entry. You must manually correct the suspense entries to properly reflect the transaction.

  • Average cost is recalculated in the ship to warehouse.
  • FIFO, serial, and lot records are created or updated with the line cost.
  • The last cost is updated if the ARP has been followed. It is not updated for intercompany transfers.
  • If posting by standard or replacement cost, differences between the shipping and receiving warehouses are posted to the IC Cost Adjustment account.

Transfer

  • The initials of the operator receiving the transfer are stored on the header.
  • The total cubes, weight, quantity received, and received amount are recorded.
  • The serial and lots received are updated.
  • If the quantity shipped is not equal to the quantity received, a transfer is changed to Stage 5 (Exception).

Sales

  • If a nonstock, special product, or Direct Order transfer is received with a different cost, the sales order is updated with the transfer cost, unless you select Do Not Update Tied Order Cost for Specials in PO/WT in SA Administrator Options-Products-Costs.
  • If a Sales Direct Order (DO) is tied to a transfer that is over-received, the quantity ordered and quantity shipped are updated to reflect the quantity received.
  • Capitalized addons are included in the product cost for special, nonstock, and line DOs.
