Transfers
To set up transfers in K3S for products with a defined patch of replenishment, the customer must choose which system (K3S or the customer’s host system) will be the source of truth for the data.
Once this is known, continue with the defined steps below.
Customers also have the ability to set up transfers outside of the regular path of replenishment. The set up steps are defined below under Overstock Transfers.
When the Path of Replenishment is maintained in K3S:
-
Turn on tablecode Set Flag 1 = 1 where TA_CODETYP = NJP, TA_CODEVAL = TRANSFER
-
Establish transfer suppliers Add the transfer supplier IDs through Supplier Settings just like you would for a regular supplier. Once the suppliers exist in K_SUPLIER file you will define the suppliers as a transfer supplier. Go to the airplane icon for Special Operations and click Hub Transfer System. Click ‘Define Supplier as Hub Transfer’. Enter the following fields and click ‘Define Supplier As Hub Transfer’ Supplier ID, Subcode (if needed), Location From, Location To, Memo. This adds the supplier to the K_TRANCEN file.
-
Establish products that will be transfered Tell the system which products will live in the transfer supplier. You can either point all products in a supplier to a transfer supplier (file K_TRANSPL) or individually assign products (file K_TRANPRD). Go to the airplane icon for Special Operations and click Hub Transfer System. Click the truck icon or three boxes icon to enter the products. These changes will take affect in the next night job.
-
PO type and PO number for transfer POs Typically the customer will want the PO to come across with a PO type of T (IB_POTYPE = T) and possible a different PO numbering scheme compared to the regular suppliers. These changes can be configured through 5MOD program K3S_POPARM.
When the Path of Replenishment is maintained through the Customer’s host system:
The customer will interface path of replenishment information through file K_PATHREP.
Overstock transfers:
Overstock transfers fall outside the regular path of replenishment. These transfer requests occur as needed. The users overstock transfer requests will go to file K_PRODOVR. Determine the schedule for processing the K_PRODOVR file and sending back to the exchange site for the customer to retrieve. This typically occurs once per day at a designated time, example 4:00 PM daily. During this scheduled time the unprocessed K_PRODOVR records will be processed and sent to the exchange site.
