Activity Transfer to Standard Inventory
Explanation
This activity is used to transfer inventory parts
from project inventory to
standard inventory.
This may be, for example, when a project has excess material that can be used as
standard inventory, or when you do not know which other projects will require
the part. This could also be performed before closing the project, when the
project is completed.
This activity also provides for the creation and printing
of new bar codes. Changes in the project belonging of inventory parts
will affect how the parts are identified using barcodes.
You can enter notes, that will be saved on the resulting inventory
transactions.
Prerequisites
- You must select the appropriate lines with parts in
project inventory.
- The parts to be transferred cannot be in transit,
reserved, or frozen for counting.
- The selected line cannot be in an inventory location of type Arrival or
Quality assurance.
System Effects
- The parts will be transferred from project inventory to
standard inventory.
- The quantity of stocks on hand in project inventory will be reduced and those in standard inventory
will be increased.
This will be displayed in the windows
that show inventory on-hand information such as the
Inventory Part In Stock window.
- If you select the Print Barcodes check box, the
standard report for printing barcodes for the selected parts will be
created.
- If notes are entered, they will be saved on each of the inventory
transactions that are created.
