How to assign containers to a transfer order

You can assign a container to a transfer order if the items on the transfer lines match the container contents.

Steps

  1. In the search box, enter Transfer Orders, and then choose the related link.
  2. Select the transfer order to which you want to assign a container.
  3. 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 page appears.
  4. In the Container ID field, select the container you want to assign to the transfer order.
  5. Assign additional containers if necessary.
  6. Choose OK.

Transfer lines are added to the order for each container you have entered. Information about the items stored within each container (such as quantity and lot number) is copied to the relevant transfer lines.

Notes If a container holds a greater quantity of an item than the transfer line requires, the program does not allow it to be assigned to the transfer order.
