Inventory Transfer Request screen

Overview

  • Provides the ability to view, create, and edit Inventory Transfer Requests.

  • The Inventory Transfer Request is the starting point of the Inventory Transfer Process, and this screen provides the ability to create them.
  • New requests can be created, or existing requests can be viewed, and modified using this screen.
  • Access to this screen is provided by the 'Inventory Transfer Request Search' screen.

Features of the Inventory Transfer Request:

  • Request Number - A system-generated sequential number that is assigned to each Inventory Transfer Request when it is submitted.
  • Shipment Number - A system-generated sequential number that is assigned to each Inventory Transfer when it is shipped.
  • Source and Destination Area - Inventory is transferred from the source, into the destination Inventory Areas (Hospital Units).
  • Destination Location - The physical location, within the Destination Inventory Area, where the inventory will be stored.  The location is prepopulated based on the desired location that has been established by:
    • Previous Transfers,
    • The default location setup for the Inventory Area; or,
    • The default location of the requested Product.
    • The location can be changed when the items are requested, and when they are received.
  • Status - As the Inventory Transfer Request is processed, the status of the request, and requested items, will be updated to indicate where they are in the Transfer Process
  • Date Needed - A searchable field that can be used to prioritize the fulfillment of the requests.
  • Show Zero Available - A filter that can be used to show the instances of inventory with zero quantity available.  If an instance of inventory with zero quantity available is used as the source, the quantity will be updated with a negative quantity.
  • Inventory Transfer Request Items:
    • Requested UnitsBased on the S:St Ratios and Stock Units of the available inventory, the user has the ability to request inventory by the Sales Unit, or by a combination of S:St Ratios and Stock Units.  The selected Request Units will determine the basis of the Inventory Transfer Request Item Quantities.
    • Ordered Quantity - The quantity of a product that was Ordered.
    • Shipped Quantity - The quantity of the product that was shipped.
    • Overshipped Quantity - When a product is shipped, and the Shipped Quantity is greater than the Ordered Quantity.  This scenario can occur when the Requested Units is unavailable when it ships, requiring the Source Inventory Area to ship a quantity greater than that which was Ordered.
    • Cancelled Quantity - When the transfer is processed, some, or all, of the Ordered Quantity can be Cancelled.
    • Backordered Quantity - If there is insufficient inventory to fulfill the Inventory Transfer Request Item, the quantity not Shipped or Cancelled, is considered to be Backordered.  When the inventory becomes available, the Backordered quantity can be Shipped or Cancelled in order to complete the Inventory Transfer Request Item.  An Inventory Transfer Request Item can not have a Backordered Quantity and an Overshipped Quantity - they are mutually exclusive.
    • Received Quantity - The Shipped and Overshipped Quantities that were Received by the Destination Inventory Area.  The Received Quantity can not exceed the Shipped and Overshipped Quantities.  If the Received Quantity is greater than the Shipped and Overshipped Quantities, the additional quantity is considered to be 'Excess Quantity'.
    • Returned Quantity - When a shipment is received, if any of the inventory is damage, or no longer needed, it can be returned to the Source Inventory Area.  Returned inventory must be processed by the Source Inventory Area using an adjustment that further specifying its disposition.
    • Missing Quantity - When a shipment is received, if any of the Shipped inventory was not delivered, it is considered to be Missing.  Missing inventory must be processed by the Source Inventory Area, using an adjustment that further specifying its disposition.
    • Excess Quantity - When a shipment is received, and the Received Quantity is greater than the Shipped and Overshipped Quantities.  If Excess inventory is received, it can be kept, or returned.  Excess inventory must be processed by the Source Inventory Area using an adjustment that further specifying its disposition.
  • Inventory:
    • Location - The physical location, within the Destination Inventory Area, into which the inventory will be received.
