Multi-company, Multi-location inventory transfers

Multi-location

Method 1 - Multi-location, 1 server

Do you have 1 server? Y = use this method, N = this requires a different setup
Do you run 1 set of receivables? Y = use this method, N = this requires a different setup
Are you multiple locations? Y = use this method, N = this requires a different setup
Are you all your locations running IBS software? Y = use this method, N = this requires a different setup

  • Setup a transfer account in each system at each location (RU #3)
    • customer class code is '6' (Transfer Account)
    • setup a job account for each location you are transferring inventory into
      • job 001 = transfer inventory to location 001
      • job 002 = transfer inventory to location 002
      • job 003 = transfer inventory to location 003
      • job 004 = transfer inventory to location 004
      • etc.
  • Assign G/L numbers to the transfer accounts (MU #10)
    • 20 = master account
    • 21 = job (location) 1
    • 22 = job (location) 2
    • 23 = job (location) 3
    • 24 = job (location) 4
    • etc.
  • Run sales transfers from the location you want to transfer inventory from (SU #1)
  • All sales to job '001' would post inventory to that location

Method 2 - Running transfers from/to a non-existent location - Multi-location, 1 server

Do you have 1 server? Y = use this method, N = this requires a different setup
Do you run 1 set of receivables? Y = use this method, N = this requires a different setup
Are you multiple locations? Y = use this method, N = this requires a different setup
