Split Stocking Item (Transfer Request)
- Rick Eggleston (Unlicensed)
This functionality is new as of version 4.1.
While Stocking Transfer Request Items, the ‘Stocking Items' can be split. This will modify the ‘Transferred In’ transactions, and the Quantity and/or Unique Inventory Attributes of the New Inventory that is Received into the Destination Inventory Location.
Stocking Items can be Split, Merged, or Moved when it’s discovered that the Unique Inventory Attributes, for a Quantity of the Stocking Item, have changed.
For example: During the Inventory Stocking process, when the New Inventory is examined, if it’s discovered that the New Inventory should be located in an Inventory Location that is different than that listed in the system; or, if some of the Quantity has a different Lot Number, Serial Number, NDC, Manufacturer, or Expiration Date than what is indicated in the system, the ‘Split Inventory Item' menu option can be used to make corrections from within the ‘Inventory Stocking’ screen.
Splitting Stocking Items versus Inventory Items:
When the ‘Stocking Item’ is split, the ‘Transferred In’ transaction is modified; versus,
When the ‘Inventory' is split, the Existing Inventory, in the Inventory Location, is modified, and will become ‘Reconciliation’ transactions.
When Inventory is ‘Reconciled’, multiple ‘Reconciliation’ transactions capture the changes made to the Quantity, Inventory Location, Expiration Date, Lot Number, Serial Number, NDC, and/or Manufacturer (Unique Inventory Attributes).
