Transfer Issue and Receive
Overview
In QuickEasy BOS Enterprise, transactions may be created to issue, receive and return inventory. Inventory can consist of raw materials or finished goods. Inventory can also be manufactured where the individual raw material items are received, and the finished goods are issued back to stock or to a customer.
When goods are issued internally from one department or area to the next, it is referred to as a Transfer. A transfer of materials can be issued and received. Issuing and receiving are typically the two sides of the same transaction (e.g. the factory issues the materials to the workshop. The workshop receives those materials from the factory).
- The process of issuing inventory internally is named a Transfer Issue.
- The process of receiving inventory internally is named a Transfer Receive.
Adding Items to Transactions:
- To use items in inventory transactions they must be marked as inventory items by selecting Fixed or All Locations next to Inventory.
- Not all items can be inventory items (e.g. services).
- If Fixed Locations is selected for an item, locations must be added to the item's inventory tab.
- When adding items to an inventory transaction, the From and To location fields must first be entered. Thereafter, item's available locations must match the transaction's available locations. Items that have fixed locations that are not stored in the From or To locations cannot be added and do not appear on the dropdown list of items to add.
