Processing of Transfers: Implementation Checklist

This topic provides details you can use to ensure that the system is configured properly for the automated processing of transfers.

Note:

The recommendations in this topic are for systems in which lot and serial tracking will not be used—that is, in which the Lot and Serial Tracking feature is disabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
