(Accounting) Move item from transit stock

Related topics

The following describes the accounting transactions that are created when you move an item from the transit stock in one warehouse, to the normal stock in another warehouse. For the purpose of this example, Cost per warehouse is not active. In addition, you can only move items from the transit stock in this example. In doing so you can move the goods within the same warehouse, or to another warehouse.

Prerequisites

Quantity 10
Cost value 10
From transit stock warehouse CEN
To normal stock warehouse STO

Created transactions

Transaction type Description Amount
Debit		 Amount
Credit		 Calculation/Result/Additional info
902 Stock value, transit stock   100.00
Cost price * Quantity moved

10.00 * 10 = 100.00

This transaction credits the transit stock value (Warehouse CEN).
901 Stock value 100.00  
Cost price * Quantity moved

10.00 * 10 = 100.00

This transaction debits the normal stock value (Warehouse STO).

Separate cost handling
If the system uses separate cost handling for the transit stock, which is defined in the DIS control file, the cost price is retrieved from the following fields in the Item file:

  • If the cost type is Standard cost, the value in the Standard cost field is used
  • If the cost type is Average purchase cost, the value in the Average transit cost field is used
  • If the cost type is FIFO, the Item file is not used. Instead you have to enter from which purchase order the cost price should be retrieved, i.e. the value is retrieved from the Purchase order file.

Note: If you do not know the purchase order number, you can use a function key in the Inventory movement routine to retrieve the value in the Last transit purchase cost field in the Item file.

Note: If the cost type is Average purchase cost, the system might recalculate the average cost price in the normal stock. This happens if the average transit cost (in the Item file) is not the same as the average cost (also in the Item file). For more information about recalculation of the average cost price, see (Accounting) Move item from non-conforming stock to normal stock, with average purchase cost.

No separate cost handling
If the system does not use separate cost handling for the transit stock, which is defined in the DIS control file, the cost price is retrieved from the following fields in the Item file:

  • If the cost type is Standard cost, the value in the Standard cost field is used
  • If the cost type is Average purchase cost, the value in the Average cost field is used
  • If the cost type is FIFO, the Item file is not used. Instead you have to enter from which purchase order the value should be retrieved, i.e. the value is retrieved from the Purchase order file.

Note: If you do not know the purchase order number, you can use a function key in the Inventory movement routine to retrieve the value in the Last purchase cost field in the Item file.
