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.
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.

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.
