Quantity Types in In-Transit Transactions & Receiving Transactions

Posted on by Community Member

Hi all,

We are currently using an in-transit module to transfer materials between our warehouses. For example, if we are moving inventory from Warehouse A to Warehouse B, we perform an in-transit transaction where the inventory gets pulled from Warehouse A and placed in a virtual "Via" Site. We then perform a receiving transaction entry against the in-transit number to receive the material at Warehouse B. We are wondering:

1) Is there a way to pull inventory from a quantity type other than "On Hand" when performing an In-Transit Transaction & selecting the "Serial/Lot" button?

I am seeing in the Transfer Line Entry - Serial page that the defaulted Quantity type from our shipping site is "On Hand" inventory (screenshot below). Is there a way to change this to select inventory from one of the other Qty Types (eg Damaged)?

2)When we perform a receivings transaction entry, will the inventory automatically be received to "On Hand" inventory or will we be able to receive this into one of the other Qty types?

Thanks,

Mark

Hello Markle

For the first question, does it mean that; for some reasons, the items in the via site got damaged and you need to transfer them from the via-site to the destination site as damaged quantity ? If that's the purpose, then you may handle this on the receiving transaction entry level, as you pick the in-transit number, place your cursor on the line item and then click on the arrow

This will open the item detail entry window, on which you can reject part of the quantity shipped from the via site and receive only the accepted ones.

Lets take a practical example for this case. Suppose that you 12 pieces of item X are to be shipped from A to B through a "via site". You will perform the following steps:

1- In Transit document to transfer items from Site A to Via-Site.

supposing that for some reasons, 2 pieces got damaged in the via-site and will not be received at the site B.

2- On the receiving transaction entry window, pick the in-transit type and then enter the whole quantity (12). Then click on the arrow to fill in 2 pieces in the quantity rejected field.

This means, only 10 pieces will be received on the site B, while the via-site will have no remaining quantity on-hand since the 2 pieces are rejected and flagged as "reserved".

Never hesitate to share any further inquiries,

Hi Mahmoud,

Thank you for the response.

To clarify question 1, please see the following example:

In Warehouse A, we have 5 serialized items that are damaged and in need of refurbishment (after being returned by a customer). These 5 items are in the "Damaged" quantity type. We would like to take these 5 items from the "damaged" quantity type in Warehouse A and move them via an in-transit transaction to Warehouse B (a repairs warehouse).

Is there a way to pull from the "Damaged" Quantity type in Warehouse A? It appears the only way to do that now would be to move these 5 items from "Damaged" to "On Hand" in Warehouse A (via a transfer entry) and then performing the transfer.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi,

Sorry to bring up an old topic, but I have looked everywhere and can't find the answer.

In the In-Transit "Transfer Line Entry - Serial" fields, I see a field that pulls from the "On Hand" quantity type below, but can't find a way to change the field to one of the other Quantity Types. Is there a way to pull items from the other Quantity types using an In-Transit Transfer? I am thinking that must be the case since you can choose items from the other quantity types during a Transfer Entry.

Thanks
