GIT Warehouse Matrix Maintenance

You use this program to indicate default entries that must be used when transferring stock from a source warehouse to a target warehouse. Establishing a matrix enables you to control the way in which you want to make the transfer, as well as provide a less time-consuming way of capturing information.

These entries are used only if you have not configured the same details against the warehouse from which the stock item is being transferred.

GIT Warehouse Matrix

Field Description
New Select this to add a new matrix entry.
Delete Select this to delete the matrix entry currently displayed.
Save Select this to save the details you entered or changed.

If any details are added or changed within this program, you are prompted to run the GIT Supply Warehouse Validation program to ensure that you have correctly configured entries in the matrix.

Running the GIT Supply Warehouse Validation program generates a report that indicates any problems detected by the program.

Source warehouse Indicate the warehouse from which goods will be transferred to a specific target warehouse.
Target warehouse Indicate the warehouse to which goods will be transferred from a specific source warehouse.

Multiplier

Your entry here is used to calculate the additional non-merchandise costs that you want to add to the cost of transferring goods (e.g. freight and handling charges).

[Note]

The multiplier is applied only if you selected the option: Apply cost multiplier when processing receipts (Inventory Setup).

The cost of the item in the source warehouse is multiplied by this value to obtain the transfer value of the item.
Ledger code Indicate the ledger account to which you want to disburse the non-merchandise value arising from the transfer of goods.

Notes and warnings

Coding considerations

  • In addition to defining the warehouse move matrix, you need to use the Browse on Warehouses program to define a valid Accounts Receivable branch for the warehouses against the field: Goods in Transit Branch.

    If the Accounts Receivable is not defined against the source and target warehouses, then the error message: "Branch to be used for SCT is invalid" is displayed when you attempt to process a Supply Chain Transfer (SCT) using the Sales Order Entry program.
