Transfer Inventory

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 10

When I try to transfer inventory from one location to another location, I get an error with the in-transit code.  What is this?  I have read the documentation and can't figure out what this is and what I should be entering there.  Any help would be great

    An in-transit location is a location between your From Location and To Location.

    Example : If you are trying to move stock from US to Europe.

    In the Transfer Order, when you post the shipment, the stock is removed from the US location.

    When you post the receipt, the stock is added to Europe location.

    What happen if you posted the shipment, but not the receipt ? Your stock does not exist in US and not in Europe.

    The stock is stored in an in-transit location, basically saying it is currently on-the-road.

    It could mean that your stock is currently on a truck, in a plane, or in a ship heading to Europe.

    If you want to use Transfer Order, you need to create a new location and set it as In-Transit Location.

    And use that, when you create Transfer Order.

    Hi,

    As per what Teddy shared, it is pretty clear as to what happens when transferring inventory.

    I think you are not inserting any In Transit location code that's why you are getting an error posting the Transfer Order.

    If the error still persists please share a screenshot of the error so we can cross verify.

    Also mention the process that your following so if there is any error we can debug it..

    Let me know if you need any help

    Thanks

    In transit means, they are travelling or being taken from one place to another.

    you can refer for more details docs.microsoft.com/.../inventory-how-transfer-between-locations

    Hi

    You need to setup transfer route and then it will work. Search for "transfer route", and connect the 2 locations with in transit information, then you will be able to proceed

    Kind regards
