Create Transfer In Request

Introduction

Use a Transfer In request to begin a Transfer of Stock Items from another Warehouse.

Key Features

When creating a transfer in a request, remember:

Transfer In

requests track the movement of goods into a Warehouse.

Transfer Out

requests track the movement of goods out of a Warehouse.

Released Transfer In

requests link at the header and line detail levels to a related Transfer Out request.

How Creating a Transfer Request Works

Creating a transfer request follows this general flow:

  1. Create the Transfer In Request order.

  2. Approve and Release the Transfer In order.

    FX EAM automatically generates a Transfer Out order for the related Warehouse when the Transfer In request is set to Released status. FX EAM also links the two records at the header and detail levels.

  3. Other warehouse Approves and Releases the Transfer Out order.

  4. Receive the Transfer In request to complete the Transfer.
