Transfers

Egg Room Transfers are used when the eggs are transferred between facilities. There is a registry switch by product type to determine if the transfer-in is automatically created when the transfer out is posted, or the transfer in is manually created by the user. The Egg Room Transfers Method switch must first be in the Manual option before a Transfer can be created. The switch is located in: Admin>Registry>Poultry Registry>Poultry>Pmts>Layers>General>Egg Room Transfers Method.

A HIM Farm Receiving transaction must be created prior to creating an egg room transfer.

The following procedures are outlined in the Processing transaction document:
