Inventory transfer in / out

The receiving store has no effect on the issuing store.

The shipping store needs to commit the order when the product leaves the building. The receiving store receives & commits the order when the product arrives. The two processes are not linked to each other at all.

One other thing--after a transfer order has been issued/placed, don't make any changes. The changes will not be sent to the remote store.

Tom thank you for your replay., I need more explanation of the following scenario

Warehouse initiate transfer out of 5 items to store A and issued them all, the Warehouse inventory now decreased by the 5 items?. At store A the actual received items are only 3, now we are on partial receive situation that two items now appearing under item properties/inventory/ "on order field"?. And the inventory is increased by the received items (3)?. Assuming that two items are lost for any reason, and I need to completely close this transfer so I have one option just to equaling the received by the ordered at the store A (I don't it's best practice for business)?. so where are the two items now? Accounting wise the inventory must be balanced?. Correct me if I am wrong, the system just correcting the paper work.

At the warehouse inventory decreased by 5. Store A increased by 3 items. and the two items are missing (may be just for me).

In HQ, there is an Interstore Transfer report that will show you when the issued and received don't match. Any adjusting entries to your accounting system would need to be entered manually, but HQ will at least keep a record that something did not balance out.

Aside from Glenn Adams' reply, the solution to the problem you describe is mass firings of your warehouse and/or transfer truck driving staff.

Our inter-store transfer procedure requires the person that loaded the truck to sign off on the transfer order. The receiver has to sign off on what was received. Any discrepancy is cause for alarm.

If necessary, you can seal the truck at every stop. If the seal is broken when the truck arrives, then you have a problem.

If five items leave the warehouse and only three arrive at the store, somebody stole two items.

One another issue; if I request transfer in over the on hand stock - at the sender store- it showing negative inventory, is there any configration option to stop counting negative inventory, or some thing alerting me it's out of stock.

So it all relates to the c> *H*,

HQ. We usually set them up to contact each other at least every couple of hours. Some set it to check every 10 minutes or so.

as the stores? If running an older version, then you also need to do a Task 190 to update HQ

Jeff, Glad to hear you enjoyd the week end,

Highly appreciating your advices, Thank you very much, and now I am using the task190 to check out the items discrepancies, the inventory tracking is very hard job...to making it accurate and efficient.....

Jeff, I am still lost about managing the items returns at another store, there's no automated way via RMS I could make it manually by reason codes, what I look for just a relation between the return store and the original store. Any ideas?..

"Jeff @ Check Po> *H*,

anything about the shipment unless HQ was the originator.
