Transferring Items to Operations

The receipt route that you assign to an item determines the series of operations through which you process the item upon its receipt (for example, transit, staging, and stock). The system enters an item into the first operation of the route upon receipt. You must transfer the item to subsequent operations in the route.

You can set processing options to determine the operations to which you can transfer items in a receipt route. For example, if the order of operations is staging, inspection, and stock, you can transfer items to:

• The next operation only (for example, staging to inspection and inspection to stock).

• Any subsequent operation (for example, staging to stock).

• Any operation (for example, stock to staging).

When you transfer items to the last operation in a receipt route, the system updates the items to a received (on-hand) status.
