You use this program to create a supply chain transfer for transfer supplied items which are on back order in sales orders. This can be based on the review of orders (Back Order Review) or suggested orders (Supply Chain Review).
| Field | Description | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Source warehouse |
Indicate the source warehouse for the Supply Chain Transfer. The source warehouse on the original order is used as the target warehouse of the new SCT order and the stock code/warehouse matrix is used to locate the target warehouse's source.
|
||||
| OK |
Select this to create the Supply Chain Transfer. The sales order number is allocated or requested according to the Sales order numbering method defined (Sales Order Setup - Numbering tab). If the Sales order numbering method is By branch, then the branch associated with the target warehouse is usually used to generate the order number. However, if the option: Use source branch for numbering SCT orders is selected (Sales Order Setup - Numbering tab), then the branch associated with the source warehouse is used to generate the order number.
