Manufacturing: Tracking In-Transit Quantities as Planned Supply

When goods are on the road, at sea, or between warehouses, they should still appear in your supply plans and material requirements calculations. You need this visibility to see what’s coming, when it’s expected to arrive, and how it'll affect your ability to meet demand.

In MYOB Acumatica 2026.1.1, inventory planning includes in-transit quantities as part of planned supply, even if the two-step transfer hasn't yet started. This helps you avoid specific challenges that can arise during inter-warehouse inventory transfers:

  • Duplicate replenishment orders that inventory planners may create when inventory planning results don’t recognize stock already in transit after shipment confirmation
  • Unnecessary purchases or panic buying that may occur when the planning system doesn't account for inventory on confirmed transfer orders
  • Delayed partial shipments caused by the consolidation of transfer supply records and insufficient visibility into partial fulfillment
Attention: This functionality is available only if these features are enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form:
  • Material Requirements Planning or Distribution Requirements Planning
  • Multiple Warehouses

New Capabilities

  • Full visibility into incoming inventory
  • More accurate planning and forecasting
  • Prevention of redundant transfers and purchases

Improved Supply Planning for Inter-Warehouse Transfers

Each time inventory planning is run on the Regenerate Inventory Planning (AM505000) form, the system recalculates the planned supply for the destination warehouse. The calculation now includes sales orders of the Transfer type whose related shipments have the Confirmed status, indicating that goods have been dispatched from the source warehouse.

Greater Visibility into the Planned Supply

You can now use the Inventory Planning Results by Item (AM404000) form, which is shown below, to view detailed information about the planned transfer supply, including in-transit quantities.

On this form, you can review transfer supply documents for the destination warehouse to more accurately determine whether the planned supply can meet the demand. These documents include transfer orders, shipments, transfer lines, and transfer receipts. They relate only to shipments with the Open, Confirmed, and Completed statuses.

The promise date for a transfer supply document includes the transfer lead time if the related shipment has the Open, Confirmed, or Completed status. If multiple items are shipped together, the system applies the longest transfer lead time. Accurate promise dates help you optimize resources and deliver on time.
