How to: Assign Containers to a Transfer Order

You can assign a container to a transfer order if the items on the transfer lines are the same as the container contents.

To assign containers to a transfer order

• In the Search box, enter Transfer Orders, and then choose the related link.
• Select the transfer order to which you want to assign a container.
• On the Navigate tab, in the Warehouse group, choose Containers. Select whether you want to link a container to the shipping or the receiving transaction. The Container Assignments window appears.
• In the Container ID field, select the container you want to assign to the transfer order.
• Assign additional containers, if necessary.
• Choose the OK button.

Transfer lines are added to the order for each container you have entered. In addition, information about the items stored within each container (such as quantity and lot number) is copied to the relevant transfer lines. > If a container holds a greater quantity of an item than what the transfer line requires, the program will not allow it to be assigned to the transfer order.
