Question - What if a user accidentally transferred inventory from an instore location to the main warehouse. The user was supposed to issue 1 pc rather than all 250, however they transferred all 250 to the main warehouse. How can I transfer the extra 249 pcs back to the instore location.
Answer - As soon as you transfer the stock out of the In-Store location into the MAIN1 warehouse – the system automatically has the records ready to go for creating the In-Store Purchase Order. As soon as the user takes them out of the In-Store location the system assumes that they have been consumed and that you need to pay the Supplier for those items. You can NOT simply return them back to In-Store location because of a human error. There is two options:
Option 1 - if you choose to pay the supplier ahead of schedule - generate the IPS PO.
Option 2 - If you do NOT choose to pay the supplier ahead of schedule and want to wash out the transfer, here is what we would suggest to do:
If you have not done so already – there should be a record within the IPS purchase order for these 250. I would generate the IPS PO for the 250.
- As soon as you approve it the records are created for the AP Reconciliation.
- Reconcile the Invoice within accounting
- Then generate a AP Debit memo to wash the invoice out of your AP Aging.
- Then you can create a new Inventory Handling Receipt for that qty into IPS whse
- Inventory handle issue out the 250 from the MAIN1 location. (non-IPS)
- Now all of your qtys should be where they need to be – and accounting should also be back on track.
