Setup of Intersubinventory Parameters for Transfer Orders

Use the Manage Intersubinventory Parameters task to configure parameters for transferring material between two subinventories within an organization. You can perform transfer orders for an inventory or expense destination transfer. Set this attribute on the Manage Intersubinventory Parameters page.

Here are some important intersubinventory parameters for transfer orders:

  • Organization

  • Destination type

  • Destination subinventory

  • Source subinventory

  • Receipt required at expense destination

  • Inventory destination transfer type

  • Receipt routing

In the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the Manage Intersubinventory Parameters task to set up your intersubinventory parameters:

  • Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management

  • Functional Area: Inventory Management

  • Task: Manage Intersubinventory Parameters

Organization

Enter the destination organization.

Destination Type

Specify inventory or expense destination. The value in this field identifies how transfer order shipments and receipts are handled for the two different destination types.

Inventory destination transfer orders require movement to a destination inventory warehouse location. Expense destination transfer orders allow you to transfer material from an inventory warehouse location directly to your location for immediate usage.

Destination Subinventory

You must enter a destination subinventory when the destination type is Inventory. This field is available for inventory destination types only.

Source Subinventory

Enter a source subinventory for inventory destination types. You can optionally enter a value for expense destination types. The combination of organization and source subinventory must be unique. You also have the option to choose All for the source subinventory.

If you enter a source subinventory for an expense destination type, then the parameters on this row apply to all intraorganization expense destination transfer orders sourced from the entered subinventory. If a subinventory isn't entered, than the parameters on this row become the default parameters for the organization, and the parameters are applied to any intraorganization expense destination transfer order that's sourced from a subinventory that doesn't have a specific intersubinventory parameter row defined.

Receipt Required at Expense Destination

Indicate whether or not a receipt is required in the destination inventory organization for expense destination transfer orders going to that destination location. If selected, then a receipt is required on transfer orders originating from the subinventory on that parameter row. If this option isn't selected, then the transfer order is considered received and delivered at the time of shipment. This field is available for Expense destination types only.

Note: If the source subinventory for a intraorganization expense destination transfer order isn't found at shipping time and a default parameter row hasn't been setup, then the Receipt required at expense destination option defaults automatically to not selected and the transfer order is considered received and delivered at the time of shipment.

Inventory Destination Transfer Type

Specify either direct or in-transit. Determines how material should be transferred between two inventory organizations. Available for inventory destination types only.

Receipt Routing

Specify the receipt routing for in-transit inventory destination transfer types. This option is also available for intraorganization expense destination transfer orders if the receipt is required at the expense destination. Receipt routing options include Standard, Direct, and Inspection.
