Transfer Transaction Record View

The Inventory Transfer Transaction Record View allows users to record the transfer of inventory items from one site to another. In addition, the user can record the transfer of inventory items via an in transit site using the same transaction. The transfer of items using this transaction also allows the user to track warehouse lots and product ownership.  The 'Include open Transfer transaction in Available balances' preference will determine whether Available balances are updated before the transaction is posted.

Records start in a Status of 'New' and progress sequentially through additional statuses until they are 'Posted' or 'Closed'. The list of potential Statuses changes depending on the transaction type.  The Statuses that apply to transactions in this List View include:

New: This is the default Status for all new Transactions. While in the Status of 'New' transactions are considered open and all editable fields are open for edit, no posting or approval validations are performed, GL Dates are not assigned, and journal entries are not created. If the transaction was moved back from Approved to New, the GL Date will be assigned and a Journal Entry will exist.  

Approved: Performs all the data validations required to post the transaction and applies to all Transactions. While in the Status of 'Approved' transactions are considered open but have limited fields open for edit. If one or more validations fail, messages are provided indicating what needs to be corrected. If all the validations pass, then all the fields are disabled except for the Status lookup (and any fields that are always editable), journal entries are created/updated, journal ID's are assigned to the journal entry, and blank 'GL Dates' are assigned.

This field is always editable while the transaction is in a Status of 'New'. If set to "Not Allowed" and the transaction would result in an inventory lot with a negative available balance, the message "Lot balances would be negative when set to Not Allowed" will be displayed on Save.

This lookup contains the values in the IMAllowNegativeAvailableBalances Enumeration Class.

(lightbulb) If Sales Order allocation preferences are set to either “Available Only” or “Available and On Hand” and a Sales order has been allocated prior to a user updating the Inventory “Negative Available Balances” property, it is possible to draw the lots negative.   

(lightbulb) A message will be displayed to the user if lot balances are negative and a new transaction is created which would impact those balances positively, however the overall balances would still be negative.  For example, if the lot balance is -10 Cases and a Transfer transaction adds 5 Cases, the overall lot balance would still be negative. The following options are possible workarounds: 

  •  Change the Transfer transaction's "Negative Available Balances" property to "Allowed"
  •  Change the Transfer transaction to result in a zero or greater inventory balance.
  •  Use Cycle Count feature to change inventory balance to zero or greater.

Database Field: ERPx_IMTransactionHeader.NegativeBalancesEN

  3. Freight PO Created: A Freight Purchase Order was created for the Freight Leg(s) on this Transaction.
