Manage Transfers Screen

 Purpose

The manage transfers screen is used to create, edit, receive, return, and restock pending or complete outbound, inbound, and historic inventory transfers through the system.

 Information Provided

This section displays inventory transfers made between your organization and another organization. Transfers are listed in either the Outbound Transfer section, the Inbound Transfer section, and the Historic Transfer section. The following steps go over how to view transfers:

    1. The table 'Transfer List' is displayed on the screen.

    2. Here the 'Outbound Transfer', 'Inbound Transfer', and 'Historic Transfer' sections are displayed. Below is an explanation for each type of transfer:

      • Outbound Transfer - Displays transfers that are outbound from your organization. Outbound transfers can also include returns on an order or transfer if there was an issue with the inventory received.

      • Inbound Transfer - Displays transfers that are inbound to your organization. (Transfers are created every time an order is filled, whether full or partial.)

      • Historic Transfer - Displays completed transfers.  For example, a transfer sent to your organization has been received and accepted. You can enter a date range for viewing historic transfers. The date that the report is run is always the date the transfer was last updated, i.e. when it was accepted or restocked.

In addition to viewing the 'Outbound Transfer' and 'Inbound Transfer' you can also view historical transfers. Historic transfers are transfers that have completed all transfer steps.  They have either been accepted or rejected, returned and restocked. Read the following steps to view historical transfers for your organization.

Note: The historic transfer date is based upon the last time the transfer was updated.  It could be the date when the transfer was accepted or restocked.

    1. The table labeled 'Historic Transfer' will display any transfers that have been completed. This would include transfers that have been accepted, rejected, and restocked. The historic transfer display fields are described above.

    2. By default, a range of one week is used to display current historical transfers. To modify that date, continue onto number three.

    3. Enter a "From" date or use the calender to select your "From" date.

    4. Enter a "To" date or use the calender to select your "To" date.

    5. Click on the Refresh List button to refresh the table with the date range you entered.

    6. The screen will refresh with your new historical transfers displayed.
