Module Guide: Warehouse Transfer Shipment

Module Location

Inventory > Warehouse Transfer > Warehouse Transfer

Module Objective

The Warehouse Transfer module is the primary transactional module for executing the shipment of goods in an internal stock transfer process. After a Warehouse Transfer Request is approved, this module is used by the source warehouse to record the Goods Issue, change the stock status to "in-transit", and print the Delivery Order (DO).

1. Main View (Transfer Shipment List)

The main page of this module displays a list of all shipment documents for warehouse transfers that have been created.

View and Key Button Functions

• View: This page is a history of all transfer shipment activities. You can monitor the Doc. Number, Data Source, Destination, and shipping Status.

• Action Buttons:

  • [New]: To create a new transfer shipment document, usually based on an approved request.

  • [Print DO]: To print the Delivery Order (DO) document that will accompany the goods during shipment to the destination warehouse.

2. Steps to Perform a Transfer Shipment (Conceptual)

1. Create a New Document: From the main page, click the [New] button.

2. Reference the Request: On the form that appears (not shown), you will be prompted to select or reference the approved Warehouse Transfer Request Number. The system will then automatically load the details of the items and the quantity that must be shipped.

3. Verify and Confirm: Verify the quantity that you will physically ship, then Confirm the document. This action will reduce the stock from your warehouse (the source warehouse) and place it in an "In-Transit" status.

4. Print the Shipping Document: Return to the list page, select the document you just created, then click the [Print DO] button to print the delivery order that will be sent with the goods.

Workflow & Integrated Business Process

• This module is the second step in the warehouse transfer workflow, executed after the Warehouse Transfer Request is approved.

• The next step after this shipment process is the Goods Receipt process at the destination warehouse to complete the transfer.

Tips & Important Notes

• Ensure you only process shipments for requests that have an approved status.

• The Delivery Order (DO) document printed from here is a crucial control document that must physically accompany the goods while they are in transit.

• This is a daily work module for the Logistics and Shipping Warehouse teams.
