Introduction
iVend Retail POS versions 6.2 and above, the user is now allowed to cancel the Stock Transfer Shipment created from the store where the goods are being shipped from.
The warehouse from where the goods are being shipped creates the Stock Transfer Shipment transaction. The Stock Transfer is then listed in the destination warehouse or store. The receiving warehouse selects the Stock Transfer document to create the Stock Transfer Receipt document to receive the goods into their warehouse.
If the user in the destination store completely or partially receives the stock transfer in a Receipt, then the Stock Transfer Shipment document cannot be cancelled from the Sender’s store.
In the following article, we will see how to cancel the shipment document from the sender’s store.
1. Log into the iVend Management Console and go to: Operations > Business Transactions > Stock Transfer Shipment.
2. Press the [F3 New] button on the Stock Transfer Shipment search window to create a new Stock Transfer Shipment.
The Stock Transfer Shipment window appears.
1. Let us create a Stock Transfer Shipment document from the Head Office warehouse to the Store1 warehouse as shown below. Choose [Ok] to add the document.
1. Now go to Store1 to check the Stock Transfer Shipment document.
2. In the Management Console of the Store1, go to: Operations > Business Transactions > Stock Transfer Receipt. Press the [F3 New] button on Stock Transfer Receipt search window.
The shipment created from Head Office appears in the Stock Transfer Shipment Search window.
1. Now go back to Head Office and open the Stock Transfer Shipment document.
2. Choose the [Cancel Stock Transfer] button to cancel the Stock Transfer Shipment as shown below.
3. The document status will change to ‘Cancellation Request’ as shown below. This is a temporary status pending a system confirmation that the receiving store, i.e. Store1 has not performed any receipts at their end on the Stock Transfer Shipment.
The user can check all the cancellation requests from the Stock Transfer Shipment Search window by changing the status to ‘Cancellation Request’ – refer to the following screen image for further clarification:
In the receiving store, if the user partially or completely receives any of the stock that was in the Stock Transfer Shipment, then the Stock Transfer Shipment status in the sender’s store will change back to ‘Open’ and Stock Transfer Shipment cannot then be cancelled.
9. In our example however, none of the stock has been receipted against the Stock Transfer Shipment in the receiving store i.e. Store 1. Therefore, after the system confirms this, the Stock Transfer Shipment will be cancelled automatically in Store1.
1. In the sender’s store at Head Office, the status of the Shipment also changes to Cancelled from the Cancellation Request temporary status as shown below.
