Understanding Intra-Depot Stock Movements

Record stock movements whenever you must account for stock that can no longer be found in the location or container to which it was previously assigned.

For each type of intra-depot stock movement, you complete the same basic steps to record the movement. The version that you use and the information that you need to enter vary, depending on the type of movement that you are recording. The stock movement types are defined by the processing type and the processing option settings for the General Stock Movements program (P415101).

When you enter an intra-depot stock movement, you can select an option to display the Journal Entries program to review the accounting information for the transaction.

You cannot change or delete the transactions in the system because transactions create inventory and general ledger records in the system. If you enter a transaction in error, you must:

• Locate the transaction.

• Reverse the entry.

• Enter information on a blank line to correct the error.

When you reverse a transaction, post the batch created by the reversal to update the general ledger. For a reversal, the program stores the general ledger date from the original transaction as the historical date.
