Transfer to Project Inventory
Explanation
This activity is used to transfer handling units or inventory parts to project
inventory. You can transfer handling units or parts from standard inventory
or from one project inventory to another. You can also use this activity
to transfer handling units or parts between activities of the same project.
- Transfers from standard inventory to project inventory can be done when
a project will use the material that exists in standard inventory, but where
the material needs to be handled as project-specific inventory within the
project. This may be, for example, when a project has excess material
that can be used in another project, either during the project's execution
or when the project is about to be completed.
- Transfers from one project inventory to another may be, for example,
when a project has excess material that can be used in another project,
either during the project's execution or when the project is about to be
completed.
- Transfers from one activity to another within the same project may be
necessary, to ensure that costs are properly allocated. It is possible to
issue parts on behalf of an activity, e.g., activity1, although the part
had been initially procured on behalf of another activity, and activity2,
the part belongs to the same project. In such instances, unless you transfer
the handling units or parts from one activity to the other before issuing,
the actual cost for the issue of parts for activity1, will go on to activity2.
All of the above types of transfer can be initiated from the
Handling Unit/Structure tab, the
Handling Unit In Stock page and the
Inventory Part In
Stock page, and carried out in the
Transfer to Project
Inventory dialog page.
This activity also provides for the creation and printing of new bar codes.
Changes in project belonging of inventory parts will affect how the parts are
identified using barcodes.
It is possible to enter notes that will be saved on the resulting inventory
transactions.
Prerequisites
- You must select the appropriate handling units or parts in standard
inventory or project inventory of a different project activity.
- The transferred handling units or parts cannot be in transit, reserved,
or frozen for counting.
- The selected handling unit or part cannot be on a inventory location
of type Arrival or Quality Assurance.
- The transferred handling units or parts cannot belong to a rotable pool.
System Effects
- The handling units or parts will be transferred to project inventory
(from standard inventory or the project inventory of a different project
activity).
- The quantity on-hand in project inventory would be increased, and will
be displayed in the pages that show the inventory on-hand information, such
as the Inventory
Part In Stock or the Handling Units in
Stock page.
- If you enable the Print Barcodes button, the standard report
for printing barcodes will be created.
- If notes are entered, they will be saved on each of the inventory transactions
that are created.
