IC22


IC22.1 - Transfers

**Form Purpose
Use Transfers (IC22.1) to directly enter transfer transactions into the
Inventory Control application. Transactions are entered in this form by a
user-defined document ID. Transactions are released (updated) to the Inventory
Control application by document ID using the Release form action. This process
lets you review and adjust transactions as many times as necessary before they
are updated to inventory.

**Processing Effect
When transactions are released, stock-on-hand quantities are updated
immediately. However, if you are creating an intransit document where items
are being transported from one company and location to another, quantities to
where items are transferred are considered intransit until you receive and
release them in IC23.1 (Intransit Receiving).

**More Information
This form lets you enter multiple item transfers by item number and transfer
quantity. As you enter item transfers you can enter notations for general
ledger and/or override default values for the item's unit of measure and
preferred bins. For catch weight items, you must enter both the stock unit of
measure and secondary unit of measure quantities. To view the Catch Weight
subform, select the Define form action.

If items are set up for lot or serial number tracking, this form walks you
through required detail forms, IC29.1 (Lots) or IC29.2 (Serials). You must
complete item detail forms before you can release a document. Otherwise, a
message indicates out of balance. To access detail forms after the initial
transfer, you must first view the document using this form. Then, select the
Walkthru form action.

You can transfer from multiple bins for lot or serial number tracked items
when this form transfers you to required lot or serial forms. However, for a
normal item, you must enter each bin as a separate line transaction.

Before you can enter detail item transfers, you must enter the company, from
location, document ID, to location, date/time, and general ledger posting
date. The date and time fields default to the system date unless otherwise
specified. If you are creating an intransit document that has a large time
span during which items are transported from one location to another, set the
intransit flag to Yes. Then, enter the estimated delivery date. Optionally,
specify the number of cartons in the transfer.

The general ledger posting date indicates to which general ledger period to
post transactions. You can post transactions to any general ledger period as
long as the general ledger posting date is within 35 days (before or after) of
the current inventory period end date defined in IC01.2 (Dates) and the
appropriate general ledger period is open for posting. If the general ledger
posting period is later than the current general ledger period, transactions
remain in the general ledger file until the appropriate general ledger period
becomes current. Transactions are passed to the General Ledger application by
running IC130 (General Ledger Interface).

Note Use IC22.2 (Detail Transfer) to attach a reason code or enter additional
comments. You can also use IC22.2 (Detail Transfer) to enter both the stock
unit of measure and secondary unit of measure quantity for catch weight items.
If specified, a variance percentage is calculated and a message displays if
the percentage exceeds the item's variance tolerance.

IC22.2 - Detail Transfer

**Form Purpose
Use Detail Transfer (IC22.2) to directly enter detail transfer transactions
into the Inventory Control application. Transactions are entered in this form
by a user-defined document ID. Transactions are released (updated) to the
Inventory Control application by document ID using the Release form action.
This process lets you review and adjust transactions as many times as
necessary before they are updated to inventory.

**Processing Effect
When transactions are released, stock-on-hand inventory quantities are
updated immediately. However, if you are creating an intransit document where
items are being transported from one company and location to another,
quantities to where items are transferred are considered intransit until you
receive and release them in IC23.1 (Intransit Receiving).

**More Information
This form is similar to IC22.1 (Transfers) where you enter item transfers by
item number and receipt. However, this form lets you enter reason codes for
tracking purposes and enter comments if needed. For catch weight items, you
must enter both the stock unit of measure and secondary unit of measure
quantities. This unit of measure calculates a variance percentage and displays
a message if it exceeds the item's variance tolerance defined in the IC11.1
(Item Master) UOM form.

If items are set up for lot or serial number tracking, this form walks you
through required detail forms, IC29.1 (Lots) or IC29.2 (Serials). You must
complete item detail forms before you can release a document. Otherwise, a
message indicates out of balance. To access item detail forms after the
initial transfer, you must first view the document using this form. Then,
select the Walkthru form action.

You can transfer from multiple bins for lot or serial number tracked items
when this form transfers you to required lot or serial forms. However, for a
normal item, you must enter each bin transfer as a separate line transactions.


Before you enter item transfers you must first enter the company, from
location, document ID, to location, date/time, and general ledger posting
date.

Date and time fields default to the system date unless otherwise specified.

If you are creating an intransit document, do the following:

- Set the intransit flag to Yes.

- Enter the estimated delivery date.

- Optionally, specify the number of cartons in the transfer.

The general ledger posting date indicates to which general ledger period to
post transactions. You can post transactions to any general ledger period as
long as the general ledger posting date is within 35 days (before or after) of
the current inventory period end date defined in IC01.2 (Dates). If the
general ledger posting date is later than the current general ledger period,
transactions remain on the general ledger file until the appropriate general
ledger period becomes current. Transactions are passed to the General Ledger
application by running IC130 (General Ledger Interface).
