Initiate inventory transfers between stores using Worksheet 330

This topic describes how to use Worksheet 330: Inventory Transfer.

You can use Worksheet 330 to initiate inventory transfers between stores.

After you initiate an inventory transfer in Central Manager, a transfer out is created in the source store where it must be released, shipped, and committed in Store Manager.

You can configure Central Manager so approved transfer outs are automatically set to Released status in Store Manager. You define this in Setup | Inventory/Purchasing | Order Setting. On the Global Option tab select Auto Release Order.

When the transfer out is committed, a transfer in is created in the destination store that must be released, received, and committed in Store Manager. The worksheet status in Central Manager will remain In Process until the transfer in is committed in the destination store.
