Redwood: Use Locators on Transfer Orders

Locators provide you the ability to specify a more exact storage location for items within a subinventory. For instance, the specific row, rack, and bin where an item is stored within a stockroom. Internal material transfers, or transfer orders, represent formal requests to move material within an organization or between organizations. When creating a transfer order, you might want to specify exactly where the requested goods need to be moved to or sourced from. Prior to this update, when creating a transfer order, you could only specify a source or destination subinventory even if the subinventory specified was locator controlled. Now, you have the ability to specify the source or destination locator if the subinventory selected is locator controlled when creating a transfer order. 

When you initiate the Create Transfer Order action on the Item Quantities page, you can select the destination subinventory or destination locator for an item. This navigates you to the the New Supply Request page where you can also specify the source locator for a locator-controlled subventory in the source organization. The transfer order created from the Item Quantities page derives the destination locator from the Item Quantities page and the source locator from the New Supply Request page. You must have material available in the source locator for the pick to be created automatically during the pick release process in the source organization. Upon shipment of the material from the source organization, the put away subinventory and locator are derived based on the transfer order line.

This feature provides you the ability to specify a more exact source or destination location for goods being moved using transfer orders when your subinventories are locator controlled.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

  • The pick in the source organization is created from the same source subinventory and locator as specified on the transfer order line. The put away subinventory and locator default in the destination organization during receiving and put away.
  • You don't need to set up the item transaction default for an item for put away in the destination organization when the transfer order line carries reference to the destination subinventory and destination locator.
