Automation of Transfer from one location to other

Dear all,

You can create a program that fills up table 83 with type Transfer and post it through codeunit 22 (or also batch-post it).
It is also possible to create a transfer document and post it.

But for more info, you need to explain more in detail what you want to do. Like from were come the data. Do you want to use the NAS or the users just import a textfile with a lot of items to be transferred, ....

Instead of using transfers, have you looked at using reclass journals? It functions like a transfer order but without the paperwork.

Thanks for the response.
The company i am talking about doesnot have the license for granule Transfer Order. The issue is like say i want to transfer from Loc 1 to Loc 2 and then from Loc 2 to Loc 3 instead of making positive and negative adjustment at all the locations is there a way where in using which it is directly tranfered from Loc 1 to Loc 3. Please let me know if it further information is required.

I cannot use the Transfer Orders. Using Reclass Journal (Form393) creates the following issue
1) Date of the stock changes which creates lot of discrepencies in many report which are actually based on indate.
2) Difficult to identify the batch used for posting.
3) Becomes difficult to explain the auditors for such transfers.
4) The current system does not have proper identification(Like against which Purchase order etc) the transfers are made.
5) Cost adjustment becomes a big issue.

Can anybody tell me best way out which would addressing the above issues.Please let me know if further clarification is required.

Why can't you use Transfer Orders?
If the client does not have Transfer Orders granule, suggest that they buy it to address the problems you just listed.
