Overview
The Division-to-Division Transfer moves inventory from one division to another. Financial transactions are generated since the inventory in one division (from) decreases and the inventory in the other division (to) increases. When an item is serial-controlled or lot-controlled, this additional secondary identification is required.
NOTE This transaction is used when transferring an item between divisions in the same company.
Application
This transaction is used when inventory for an item needs to be moved between divisions in the same company. For example, Division B is short an item, and Division A has inventory that can be provided to Division B.
Financial Transactions
Division A (From):
Division B (To):
NOTE Item cost may differ in each division as the Item Costing function is set by division. The same item may be defined in multiple divisions, and therefore have a different cost in each division. When using Standard Cost, the delta will be booked to the Div to Div Move Standards Variance Account on the "from" Division Master.
NOTE Inventory accounts are sourced from the Item’s assigned commodity code or the Item’s inventory account record if an account override has been entered. The Inter Division account comes from the Division Master record.
Processing Notes
When the Division to Division Transfer transaction is initiated from the Visualforce (VF) Page, the system creates the custom setting 'LocMove_RunAsQueueableClass' with a default value of True if it doesn't exist.
Salesforce has a limitation that only a maximum of 5 concurrent Batch Apex processes can run simultaneously.
The Division to Division Transfer transaction initiated from the VF page is processed based on the value of the custom setting 'LocMove_RunAsQueueableClass' as mentioned below:
-
When the custom setting is True, a Queueable job will be created for the transaction using Salesforce Flex Queue. If 5 batch processes are running concurrently, this job will remain in the queue and will be processed when a batch is available for processing.
-
When the custom setting is False, the system processes the transaction based on the quantity to be processed:
-
If the quantity to be processed is less (i.e., < 25), the system processes it synchronously.
-
If more quantity is to be processed and a batch is available for processing, the system processes it as an asynchronous Batch Apex. If 5 batch processes run concurrently, an error message will be displayed, indicating that the Salesforce server is currently unavailable to process the job.
NOTE The VF page will keep loading until the system processes the job.
