Execute Transport Task

Explanation

You can create a transport task either in IFS/Inventory or in IFS/Receipt. You may also have modified the transport task and also printed a transport task report, so the truck driver is informed about the task. The goods are then physically moved by the truck driver. Then the truck driver, or any other relevant system user, will confirm the transport task in the system. When you execute the transport task, the move is realized in the system as well.

Transport tasks are handled differently in different parts of IFS Applications. In most parts of IFS/Inventory, for example, transport tasks can be used for all kinds of goods.

Parts can be received into inventory location types: picking, floor stock, shipment, and production line.

The procedures below describe how to execute transport tasks in IFS/Inventory as well as in IFS/Receipt.

Prerequisites

• A transport task for the relevant goods must have been created.
• The goods should have been physically moved.

System Effects

The system executes the movement of the goods and changes the status of the transport task to Executed.
