Transfer/Release Ship

Transfer/Release Ship sessions are created when Inventory Items have been picked from stock and shipped to fulfill Release or Transfer Requests.  Existing Transfer/Release Ship sessions can be edited by selecting them from the Outstanding Transactions heading on the WorkPlace Dashboard.  Open Transfer/Release Ship Session(s) are those that have already been created but have not yet been submitted.  Upon submission of a Transfer/Release Ship session, a Packing Slip report becomes available for the warehouse to print and include with the Items being delivered which are then available to load into a Transfer/Release Receipt session.

Shipment lines can be loaded from submitted Release and Transfer Requests or entered manually.  Shipment lines that are manually added will automatically create and associated Release or Shipment Request within WorkPlace.
