Receive a Branch Transfer

Use the Receiver Maintenance (IRC) program to receive a transfer from another branch. See Background and Road Map for more information.

  1. Click Transfer and then Transfer.

  2. Enter the number of the transfer or click the Lookup icon and use the standard lookup options to select the number from the list.

    If you selected a transfer from the lookup, the program finds the first open (shipped, but not yet received) shipment and displays it by default.

    • If there is only one open shipment, the program proceeds to the field prompts. Look ahead to step 4.

    • If there is more than one open shipment, the program defaults the first one.

  1. Enter the shipment number to receive.
    Or
    Tab to accept the displayed shipment number or enter a different one.
    Or
    Leave blank and press tab. The program defaults to the first open (shipped but not yet received) shipment for the transfer.
