Force To-Stock to Match From-Stock on Batch Transfers

A common use for Batch Tracking is to assign ‘bin locations’ for all stock items to track the quantity of a given stock item in any one location. In this circumstance transfers are used to move stock from one bin location to another. This new feature allows the system to force the ‘To-Stock’ code to be equal to the ‘From-Stock’ code during stock transfer.



In use, after entry of the quantity to transfer and selected the required batches (bin locations) the system will automatically set the ‘To-Stock Code’ to be the equal of the ‘From’ code and not allow any changes.

 Note

 This feature applies to all transfers so the assumption is that Batch Tracking is used for all items as a bin location if you enable this feature.

Installation

Application User Facilities

This feature is enabled through the Application User Facilities for Stock Control. To update the parameters select Installation from the main menu followed by Application Manager and then Application User Facilities. Select the Stock Control application and then the Stock Transactions parameter screen before moving to screen 2 of the parameters.


Force To-Code to From-Code on Transfers – set to force the ‘to’ stock code to match that of the ‘from’ stock code during stock transfer entry. As previously noted this feature is only of use where all items are batch tracked and the batch code is used as a ‘bin location’ for the stock line.
