Modify and Print Transport Task

Explanation

A transport task can be created either in IFS/Inventory or in IFS/Purchasing. You can then modify the task in Transport Task. This window can either be opened directly in IFS/Inventory or reached via several other functions. You can change the site and location. You also can print a transport task report from this window. The printout can be reprinted. 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. The receipt handling in IFS/Purchasing, however, only supports transport tasks for pallets.

The procedures below describe how to modify and print transport tasks in IFS/Inventory as well as in IFS/Purchasing.

Prerequisites

• A transport task must have been created.
• To be able to change the site, more than one site must have been entered in the system. This is done in the Site window. Your user ID must have been connected to more than one site; this is done in the Sites per User window.
• If you are changing a site, you also must have a proper location entered for this site. The part must also be entered on the other site. This can be done by using Copy Parts to Site window. However, after copying, you must add some conditional data to the inventory part on the new site.

System Effects

The system prints a transport task report. You can execute the transport task from the Warehouse Task/Transport Task tab.
