Scan and Transfer

Form ID: (IN304020)

By using this form, you can transfer inventory items between locations in the same warehouse or between warehouses located in the same building by scanning barcodes for the origin and destination locations and the inventory items to be transferred. All of this information is reflected on the form as you work in a new inventory transfer. When you have scanned all items and the information on the form is correct, you scan the barcode to release this inventory transfer. You can view the released inventory transfer on the Transfers (IN304000) form.

Note: This form is available only if the Base Inventory feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
