Understanding Transfer Orders in Russia

You print transfer orders when you transfer stock from one company branch to another branch of the company. When you complete a transfer order, the system creates a sales order for the transferring branch and creates a purchase order for the receiving branch.

In Russia, the purchase order created by the transfer must show the company as the supplier of the purchase order so that the Purchase Book report for Russia shows the company as the supplier. For example, if Branch A of Company XYZ transfers stock to branch B of Company XYZ, the purchase order and the records printed in the Purchase Book report must show Company XYZ as the supplier.

To use the company of the transferring branch as the supplier when you create transfer orders:

  1. Set up your system to process transfer orders.

    See Setting Up the System for Transfer Orders in Russia.

  2. Set up your user ID to use Russian localization by entering RU (Russia) in the Localization Country Code field in the User Profile Revisions program.

  3. Use version ZJDE0007 (Transfers) of the Sales Order Entry (P4210) program to enter the transfer order. On the Sales Order Detail Revisions form, enter the branch/plant number of the company in the From Branch/Plant field and the receiving branch's branch/plant number in the To Branch/Plant field.

The system will retrieve the address book information for the company and use that information as the supplier information in the Purchase Book report.
