IC16 Warehouse Transfer Criteria (IC16)

The Maintain Warehouse Transfer Criteria (IC16) is used set up the criteria for calculating inventory transfer quantities via the warehouse replenishment sub-system. Note: Warehouses used with the warehouse replenish sub-system must be set up in the Maintain Customer Master (SU13) program with the COT = 'WHS'. Only the 'ship to' warehouses need to be set up in SU13. For more information about this topic click here.

Criteria entered in this program direct the calculations performed in Recalculate Warehouse Forecast (IC23). Values entered here will have a dramatic effect on the forecast demand, safety stock (minimum), order points and maximums. This in turn will have a significant impact on remote inventory levels and customer service levels.

The follow defines every field in Warehouse Transfer Criteria:

• Warehouse Number - Enter or select from the query the Warehouse code. Once you select a warehouse the Short Name displays below this field. Warehouse codes are defined in Mntn Sales Office/Whse Numbers(CC96).

  Note: The warehouse entered in this field must be a destination warehouse and cannot be the primary warehouse. If you select the primary warehouse the message ‘The system does not allow transfers to the primary warehouse. Your primary warehouse is xx. OK’ displays. Click the ‘OK’ button to clear the message and select a secondary warehouse. For more information about the primary warehouse click here.

• Lead time in Days - Enter the Lead time in Days to a maximum of 999. The expected lead time to be used in Recalculate Warehouse Forecast (IC23) calculations, expressed in calendar days. A value of 0 will result in IC23 calculating 0 for the safety stock, order point and maximum. Note: It is recommended that a consistent number be used for all warehouses regardless of actual shipment/lead times. This will result in consistent calculations among warehouses.

• Forecast Calculation Code - Enter or select from the query the forecast calculation code.

  The forecast calculation codes are maintained in Maintain Forecast Calc. Code (PO07) and allow the set up and maintenance of information required to forecast monthly inventory unit requirements. The entries made in Maintain Forecast Calculation Code is used by Recalculate Warehouse Forecast (IC23) to calculate what the forecasted demand of a product will be for a reorder period, based on past demand of that product. Note: If the Lead time in Days is set to 000, the system will use the Restocking Information in Maintain Inventory Master(IM13) on the Warehouse folder for each individual product.
