Overview

This option is for multi-location companies that need to transfer inventory from one distribution center to another passing through an intermediate location.

Instructions:

The following initial setup is required in order for the Pass Through Location Transfers to work:

1. Enable the Outbound Truck Freight for the company. For more information revert to the following link: Outbound Freight.
2.  Make sure the Box Dimensions are properly entered so that the system can calculate the correct number of cubes for each inventory item. For more information, refer to Box Dimensions & Factor for Mixed Boxes.

3. Create the pass through location as a customer.  For doing that, please read Adding customers.

4. Go to Setup and click on the Customers tab, search for the location created and click on Edit in the Actions column. Click on Setup->Advanced.

5. Choose the main location and select a Pass Through Location.
   
   
   
6. Configure the cube rate for each carrier and its corresponding location under the Days of Service tab. This must be done for each customer (Company branches) . Please read the following article for more information: Days of Service per Customer.
   
   
   
   
7. Setup the E-commerce Settings based on how the prices will be seen on E-commerce for each customer (Company branch). Selecting Landed Cost as Price will show the landed cost as the price and will not show the inventory price to the customer on E-commerce, in other words, the GPM will be 0% for these "sales". Selecting Show FOB Price will include the fuel surcharge and outbound freight as part of the price on E-commerce.  If the customer also wants to see the suggested sales price in the E-commerce, enter the Customer's GPM.
