Transfer Order Negative Cost per Unit

gunavs

We are transfering items from 1 location to another. The shipping is posted.
For each line there should be negative transfer entry for the old location and a positive transfer entry for the in-transit location.

But we are getting a negative transfer entry for the in-transit location for some items. Any ideas on why it might happen?

Check to see whether there are item journals for the items into the In-Transit location.

No there weren't any.

When you drill down to the negative entries, what were the nature of the transactions when you do navigate? I would first sum up all the ins and outs of the ledger entry and find the odd ball transactions to see what the full story is.

Others transfers for this item in the ledger entry were fine. Only this one transfer has a negative value. i am looking at the other entries to see any anamolies but so far none. Thank You Alex

There's gotta be something. Unless your system was modified in this area.

Here is my experience

When I received such complains once, my investigation showed that one user who transferred (SHIPPED)items mistakenly to a location, tried to pass negative entry from In-Transit and thought that would nullify the transfer.
Reason is there is no of "CANCELLING" or "RECALLING" the shipment of any transfer. Other location has to receive and ship again to the source.

So, check ledger of that item carefully and may find such rogue entries.

There was no indiacation of this item posted to the IN TRANSIT location too. Another question, when a purchase is posted and there was no remaining quantity for this item previously, should the item ledger entry for the purchase have a remaining quantity same as the purchased quantity. Because for this item, though 500 were purchased and invoiced, the remaining quantity on that line showed 241.
