In the final stage of the IBT procedure the Receiving (Request) Branch, on taking receipt of the transferred goods, must retrieve and open the IBT Receipt to 'book in' the goods, recording any variance, before Completing the IBT Receipt to print/generate an IBT Goods Received Note.
The first step is for a user at the Receiving Branch to recall the IBT. See Retrieving An IBT Receipt.
By default, the Received Quantity of each product line (i.e. the quantity confirmed as received by the Receiving Branch) matches the Despatched quantity (i.e. the quantity confirmed as despatched by the Issue Branch). If there is no variance to record you may immediately Complete And Print The IBT Receipt.
However, you will need to be aware of the following before you Complete the IBT:
If the Received quantity of a product line does not match the Despatched quantity you must record variance.
Any received goods which are 'batch traceable' will by default have the Batch/Serial Number applied when they were first received into stock and their Bin Number will default to whatever it was at the Issue Branch. The user at the Receiving Branch may view - and, if necessary, edit - this batch allocation, perhaps to receive goods into a different or additional Bin Location and/or mark received goods for inspection.
See Recording IBT Receipt Variance And Editing Batch Allocations.
On Completing this stage an IBT Goods Received Note is printed at the Receiving Branch and the stock is now available to be sold at this branch. See Completing And Printing An IBT Receipt.
Note: See Inter Branch Transfers for an overview of the full IBT procedure.
Note: The IBT Receipt 'booking in' procedure may alternatively be carried out by a remote 'scanner user' via an RF bar code scanner running the Quantum VS Warehouse System application. See Remote Bar Code Scanning Procedures.
