Purpose: Use Location Transfer to transfer the entire quantity of an item from one primary location to another in the warehouse.
The location you are transferring the item to becomes the item's "primary primary" location. A "primary primary" location is the first primary location the system searches when performing any action dealing with inventory. The "primary primary" location is stored in the Primary loc (Primary location) field in the SKU file.

Warning about Conflicting Jobs
A warning pop-up window displays automatically when you select this option if Pick Slip Generation or Location Replenishment is active (in the Active Procedures file).

Pick Slip Generation is active.
Press ENTER to continue.

Active Procedure Warning
Replenishment is active.
Press ENTER to continue.
F12=Cancel |
Reason: The warning pop-up window appears because each of these options affect inventory at the location level in the warehouse, as does the current option you are trying to use.
Responding to the Warning: Press Enter to use the option anyway or press F12 to perform the location transfer at a later time when the other jobs are finished running.
Note: The warning pop-up window(s) displays again if you entered a location transfer. You can press Enter to continue or F12 to wait to process the transaction until the conflicting job has finished.
