--- title: "Creating a Branch Transfer" canonical: "https://kb.myframeworks.com.au/space/PROSTIXV48DOC/31097216/Creating%20a%20Branch%20Transfer" format: markdown --- Refer to Hiding the Supplier and Branch cost for specific information about restricted Suppliers. To create branch transfers, perform the following: 1. From the ProStix Main Menu select 'Purchasing & Receipting ' then 'Purchase Order Processing ' then 'Branch Transfers' . 2. The next screen allows you to either enquire upon or create a branch transfer. 3. Select the 'Goods In Transit Enquiry' option and then complete the branch details where the From Branch is the supplying branch and the To Branch is the receiving branch. 4. The next screen prompts for delivery instructions and address, as with a normal purchase order. The main difference is that a valid sales representative is required as the Operator for the sales order (see below) and picking slip. This defaults to the sales rep defined against the internal customer of the receiving branch. If this sales rep number is zero or undefined, the system uses the user entered in 'Ordered by'. If this user also has a sales rep number of zero, the system prompts the user to enter a valid sales rep number. 5. Products are added to a purchase order in the usual way. The cost of a product is determined from the cost (or sell depending on the branch settings) defined at the supplying branch. 6. A corresponding sales order is created when the purchase order header is created and the reference number of this linked sales order is displayed in the purchase order header. 7. After you have 'd from a purchase order, you cannot go back in to change the purchase order details. If line items are deleted and System Tailoring Flag ' OrdTfrDel ' is set to ' Yes ', then the corresponding lines are deleted from the linked branch transfer purchase order. If line items have their quantities changed on the sales order, then the linked purchase order does not have its quantities changed, however, the new quantities are reflected in the ' received this delivery' field when the stock is receipted. If a branch transfer sales order is deleted then the corresponding purchase order is also deleted. 8. If required, you can set the system to prompt for a picking slip to print at the supplying branch when the user ’s out of the purchase order. To make this happen you must set the system flag ' OrdPslipBT' to ' Yes '. You must also make sure that a default picking slip printer has been defined at branch level for the supplying branch.
