Execute Transport Task

Explanation

You can create a transport task either in IFS/Inventory or in IFS/Purchasing. You may also have modified the transport task and also printed a transport task report, so the truck driver is informed about the task. The goods (single handled parts and/or pallets) are then physically moved by the truck driver. Then the truck driver, or any other relevant system user, will confirm the transport task in the system. When you execute the transport task, the move is realized in the system as well.

Transport tasks are handled different in different parts of IFS Applications. In most parts of IFS/Inventory, for example, transport tasks can be used for all kinds of goods. The receipt handling in IFS/Purchasing, however, only supports transport tasks for pallets.

Single-handled parts can be received into inventory location types: picking, floor stock, shipment, and production line. When you receive pallets into a pallet location, the location type can be pallet, pallet deep, or pallet buffer. If the pallet is received into the first two location types, the pallet can be reserved and delivered to a customer. The latter location type is used only as a refill source when needed.

The procedures below describe how to execute transport tasks in IFS/Inventory as well as in IFS/Purchasing.

Prerequisites

• A transport task for the relevant goods must have been created.
• The goods should have been physically moved.

System Effects

The system executes the movement of the goods and changes the status of the transport task to Executed.
