Hi,

i am using transfer option to dispatch our material from one location to another for that we are using warehouse as from location with "on hand" quantity and outlet as "in-use". but in the outlet we do not have quantity available in the system. when i need to use the "return" option i could not transfer the martial from outlet to warehouse because there is no quantity. kindly let me know how can i solve this issue without enable override quantity in the system.

Thanks

Would you please provide further details on the whole scenario, I am quite curious on how you are using the transfer instead of the return.

Your feedback is highly appreciated,

Good Afternoon,

While the item is not 'On Hand' is will be in you 'In Use' quantity type. When you process your inventory transfer back to the warehouse ("Return"). You will need to change your quantity type for the 'From Site' to 'In Use'. This way, your transfer will not reduce your 'On Hand' quantity in your 'From Site'.

When we transfer items we do not transfer from on-hand to in-use - we transfer from on-hand to on-hand.

Then when the item is sold on SOP it is treated as expected.

If we need to return back to the other sites, we simply do a transfer from on-hand to on-hand

That way we do not sell between sites and we do not cause the system to want to create return documents.

If I were using the 'sales' method of transfer between sites, then I would create PO from 'order site' and fill that order with an SOP from the 'issue site'. That way if needed I can use the RETURN SOP transaction to put the items back out of inventory if needed at some later time. This way is more paper work, as you have to do the full sell and buy on each side, but the flow of the transactions appears clearer. NOTE: this works better when there are two different company databases in play - otherwise it gets a bit messy due to the fact that your company is both the vendor and the client. It works for a specific need.

Bottom line, I would not change the 'where it put it' answer when using transfer - it seems to work best when leaving the item count in the ON-HAND bucket.

Hope this helps.

Good Morning Refeesh,

Check (or upload a screenshot ) your item stock inquiry to ensure that you have the quantity available for that quantity type. When transferring from one quantity type to another, the quantity available rules still apply.

Thanks.
