This program creates an Inter-Company Transfer (ICT)-type order in reverse. It has to be enabled (switched on).
In the following procedure, the warehouse pushes out to depots.
By contrast, in Inter-Company Transfer, depots place demands on the warehouse.
The warehousing procedure is as follows:
The Warehouse runs an option to Generate depot requirements across all depots.
The Warehouse may edit the supply quantities to suit their own decisions.
The Warehouse then runs an option called Generate Transfer WIPs. This creates a WIP in each depot for which the warehouse is responsible, with the part numbers deemed necessary and quantities agreed by the Warehouse. The part lines on the WIP at the depot will be at I status, as though the depot had created the WIP.
WIPs are also automatically created on the Warehouse files, one for each depot.
The Warehouse then picks the parts. It invoices the parts/WIP to each depot. This sets the parts statuses to R on the WIP of the depot and updates stock immediately.
The depot then follows a procedure whereby the parts lines are set to D status and a binning list is printed.
