Why:
Inter-branch transfers are created when stock is being moved from one branch to another. If the transfer is to an imprest stock branch, the stock is automatically receipted and no manual goods receipt action is required. However, to all other branches the stock must be receipted manually.
All inter branch transfers, regardless of the supplier, are received against a nominated supplier in the Work with Receipted Orders window (a parameter is set at company level which indicates the nominated supplier.) Once receipted, the receiving branch records are updated to reflect the transferred stock.
Where:
From the supplier view, highlight the supplier nominated to receive inter-branch transfers, then select Supplier > Goods Receipt. This will display a Work with Receipted Orders window.
How to Receive Inter Branch Transfers:
In the Work with Receipted Orders window you can identify any inter branch transfers by looking at the 'Type' column to the right of the window.
You can check details of the transfer by highlighting it and selecting Order > Manual > Open.
Alternatively, highlight the transfer, right click and select Open.
You can also print, and conclude and delete from this option transfers from the Work with Receipted Orders window.
Concluding a transfer updates the transaction inquiry and Parts Master File.
Transfers can be deleted, but the ability to do this depends on a privilege being set against the user ID. If you are allowed to delete a parts transfer at the receiving branch, this will automatically update the stock quantities at the sending branch by putting the part(s) back into stock and the status of the IBT at the sending branch automatically changes to 'Returned'.
To check that part details have been updated, you can perform a Transaction Enquiry.
