When the inventory grade is not supplied, the default inventory grade from the source inventory location is used if available.

If no inventory grade is found while creating a new inventory and a default state is configured for this sublot and lot, the default state is used to identify the item grade of the new inventory.

If no inventory state is found while creating a new inventory and a default state is configured for this sublot and lot, the default state is used to identify the item state of the new inventory.

If no inventory state is found and a default grade is configured for this lot, the default state is used to identify the item state of the new inventory.

ToUnitofMeasure

If a legitimate unit is supplied that is not the default unit for the item, the supplied quantity is converted from the supplied units to the native units of that item.

If the unit is not specified or is not a valid unit of measure, it is assumed that the quantity is represented in native units of that item.

No

The transfer option is applicable only when the inventory is transferred to a different storage location, lot, or a sublot, whose storage location, lot, or sublot is not same.

For Option 1 Enforce Destination Settings:

The grade, status, and expiry date from the source inventory location must match with the grade, status, and expiry in the destination inventory location. If the grade, status, and expiry from the source location do not match the grade, status, and expiry in the destination location, the inventory is not transferred.

The grade, status, and expiry date in the destination inventory location is ignored, if an item is transferred from a location whose date is different than the existing date. While transferring the quantities from one location to another, if a legitimate value for the grade, status, or expiry is supplied, the supplied value overwrites the existing value in the inventory. Otherwise, the existing grade, status, or expiry date in the destination inventory is retained.

TransferOption
