Purpose
This procedure can be used to cancel (reverse) an in-transit Stock Transfer Invoice. The cancellation must take place before the stock is received at the Receiving Location and as such, will not work if the ‘Direct Delivery’ option was selected on the Stock Transfer Order.
During cancellation, an Order is reverted back to its ‘waiting pick’ or ‘on pick’ status (depending on whether it was entered via Sales Order Entry or Manual Despatch) and the stock is essentially ‘returned’ back to the source stock location’s inventory. The quantity of each item despatched is moved from ‘in transit’ back to ‘committed’/’on pick’ at the Issuing Location and to ‘On-Order’ at the Receiving Location.
Therefore you can make use of this function to reverse a mistaken despatch, and then either delete the Transfer Order or adjust the items and quantities and despatch it again when ready. Note that if you have invoiced and receipted a Stock Transfer Order between two stock locations by mistake, it is not available to ‘cancel’. You would need to enter a new stock transfer order, in reverse, to return the items from the destination location back to the original source location in order to reverse the stock movements.
Data Input
Reference
Enter the number of the Transfer Order that needs cancelling. Note that you can only cancel one Transfer Order at a time.
Selected Items
The last ‘Transfer Out’ (TFO) stock transaction made for the entered reference is found and displayed in a list on screen. You can view the list and omit any items that you do not wish to include in the update. An item must be selected or it will not be updated. Once you submit the list for update the reversal of the in-transit Stock Transfer Invoice occurs.
