Based on the default supply routes and warehouse structure, DC1 Inventory Control produces purchase suggestions and internal replenishment suggestions. On many occasions it is of great interest for the user to be able to dynamically change a purchase suggestion to an internal replenishment suggestion, or the other way around. Via the transfer function it is possible to do the following:
- Transfer a purchase suggestion to an internal replenishment suggestion.
- Change supply source (supplier) on an existing purchase suggestion.
- Transfer an internal replenishment suggestion to a purchase suggestion.
- Change supply source (supplying warehouse) on an existing internal replenishment suggestion.
When all lines are transferred/changed the suggestion keeps the same suggestion number even though some information is changed. When transferring/changing some lines, but not all, a new suggestion is created containing the transferred/changed lines.
The old, original suggestion is updated with new values for total value, weight and volume due to the removed (transferred) lines. The values for Review code (Y/N) and Lines without price (Y/N) are also updated on the original suggestion.
The transfer is made interactively and the start panel is reached via command keys from the purchase suggestion and internal replenishment suggestion maintenance programs. The suggestion header indicates if you are transferring from a purchase suggestion or an internal replenishment suggestion.
You can enter a new supplier number or a new supplying warehouse. If a new supplier number is entered, then a new purchase suggestion will be created for the specified supplier. If a new supplying warehouse is entered, a new internal replenishment suggestion will be created.
See About working with purchase suggestions (DC1 Inventory Control) and About working with internal replenishment suggestions (DC1 Inventory Control) for information about the maintenance of replenishment suggestions.
