Chapter 82: Receiving Pending Transfer Transactions from PkMS (WPTT)
Purpose: Use the Work with Pending Transfers Screen to review or delete PIX transactions that represent a pending inventory transfer.
In this chapter:
• Work with Pending Transfers Screen
Pending inventory transfers are PIX inventory transactions that are associated with other PIX inventory transactions that have not yet been processed by the PIX Async. Each inventory transaction represents one half of an inventory transfer.
Example: PIX inventory transaction ABC takes 5 of item A1NY out of location A in warehouse 123. PIX inventory transaction CDE that is associated with transaction ABC places 5 of item A1NY in location B in warehouse 323. Combining these 2 separate transactions represents an inventory transfer for 5 units of item A1NY out of location A and into location B.
How do you associate a PIX transaction with another PIX transaction? The system uses the first 5 positions of the Custom record expansion (PXRCEX) field in the PIX Inventory Transaction File (PXSTYL00) to associate a PIX transaction with another PIX transaction. When a PIX inventory transaction contains a value in this field, the inventory transaction is flagged as having a corresponding pair transaction.
To find the corresponding record: The PIX Async matches the value in the Custom record expansion field with the value in another record’s Sequence number field to find the 2 PIX transaction records that make up the transfer transaction.
Example:

What happens if the corresponding PIX transaction has not yet been processed? If the PIX transaction that corresponds to this transaction has not yet been processed through the PIX Async, the system places the transaction in the Pending Transfer file. The transaction remains in this file until the corresponding transaction is processed by the PIX Async. The Work with Pending Transfers Screen displays PIX transactions the are waiting for their corresponding transaction to be processed.
Once the corresponding transaction is found, both transactions are processed by the PIX Async. See WMS Inventory Transaction Setup.
