STOCK TRANSFER INTERWAREHOUSES

Stock transfer inter-warehouses module aims to support the stock transfer process between warehouses belonging the same company.

All the stock transfer process steps are performed with reference to a specific document: stock transfer document: therefore, it is possible to control all the stock transfer process steps in only one document.

Two specific authorization groups are available: stock transfer user and stock transfer manager.

The stock transfer process has been implemented as follows:

·       A stock transfer document is created in a draft status detailing the responsible approval user, source and destination warehouses, document date and requested receipt date;

·       A notification is sent out to the responsible user (mail or a message in the inbox) for requesting their approval; the approval user has to be the stock transfer manager permission;

·       System check is performed for guaranteeing whether source and destination warehouses are allowed as per the current warehouses settings where the resupply chain has been defined;

·       Goods movements are created accordingly the current warehouses setting, i.e. how many steps are involved in the incoming shipment process for the destination warehouse and in the outgoing shipment process in the source warehouse;

·       Quantities to deliver, Quantities delivered and Quantities received are monitored at item level

·       When the first deliver has been performed, the stock transfer document status is automatically set as in progress (the stock transfer process is running and the document cannot be cancelled anymore);

·       When no pending goods movements exist, the stock transfer status is set automatically as done (the stock transfer process has been fully performed, the stock in transit is empty, so the document is closed).
