Ship Full Tanks and Barrels

An operation shipping full vessels involves the physical transfer of bulk material in full vessels to another facility, including transfer to a third party for specialized processing, where the third party is managed within the facility. This operation does not require the additional movement from vessels to tankers. You can associate an internal operation for receiving bulk material at the receiving facility, including the preservation of blend lot details. The bulk material being transferred remains property of the shipping facility until received.

These operations are for internal shipment.

A ship full vessel operation has the same characteristics as a shipping/dispatch operation. In addition to these characteristics, a ship full vessel operation:

• Updates the associated vessel master record so that vessel is in new facility.

  The barrel facility is changed from one facility to another within the master table. The tanks are copied and associated with the new facility. When this record is copied, the tank status in the receiving facility is updated to Waiting for Receipt.

• Copies the From vessels from the associated ship operation to the To vessels in the receive operation.

The From Vessels must be of the same material type.

Once a ship operation is closed, the tank status is updated to Not In Branch in the shipping facility. When the receive operation is closed, the tank status in the receiving facility is updated to Active. ERP inventory is increased for the item that is cross-referenced with the material type on the bill of lading vessel.
