The Receive Branch Transfers (IC55) program is used to receive stock transfers, produced through the Confirm Whse Transfer (IC27) program or entered directly in Enter Orders/Quotes (OE30), into the receiving warehouse.

Note: You can only receive branch transfers for orders that are scheduled through Schedule Order for Printing (OE32), printed and accepted through Print Shipping Documents (OE32) and the invoice cycle is completed for the orders through Enter Inv/Direct Bills/Credits (IN41), Print Invoices/Credit Notes (IN42) and Schedule Invoices/Credits (IN43).

You can only process warehouse transfers processed via TAT code “WHS”. The stock is reduced in the sending warehouse and the quantity on order is increased in the destination warehouse. Upon receipt of the goods by the destination warehouse, this program is run to reduce quantity on order and increase quantity on hand at the destination warehouse.

Note: You can optionally add into the product cost (per factors defined through the Maintain Inventory Tables (IM09)/Warehouse Shipping Rates program. The resulting G/L distribution for a warehouse transfer would be:

Assume: - transfer of product from warehouse 01 to warehouse 02:

  • product’s cost in whse 01 = $100.00

  • freight factor incurred when shipping from 01 to 02 = 1%

Note: While IC55 updates the quantity balances in the Inventory Master file record (in the receiving warehouse), the General Ledger distribution entries are reported and updated through the Whse Receipt Stock Audit Trail(IC56) program.

Once you execute IC55 the Warehouse Selection dialogue panel displays. Select the warehouse that the stock is being transferred to.

Once you select a warehouse IC55 opens. The following list defines every field on the Receive Branch Transfers panel:

  • Order No + Shipment - Enter or select from the query Order and Shipment number that you wish to receive. Once you select an order/shipment number the Date Shipped displays to the right of the input field.

    The query for the Order No + Shipment displays warehouse transfer orders that have been shipped and invoiced to the receiving warehouse.

    The Order Number + Shipment number input field is used to identify the individual shipping document of the warehouse transfer. This input field consists of the Sales Order number from the transfer sales order along with the Shipping Document number assigned to this shipment when printed in the main warehouse.

You can update the Order/Shipment number by clicking the ‘Update’ button. Once the entry is updated it displays in the list box.

The following table outlines the functionality of each button on the Receive Branch Transfers panel:
