Transfer Ownership to Company

Explanation

This activity is the transfer of externally-owned stock, either supplier-loaned or customer-owned, to company-owned stock, i.e., a receipt in place. When you have come to an agreement with a supplier or customer to purchase parts that are theirs but stored in your inventory, this activity transfers the ownership in inventory and creates a purchase order for the transferred parts.

Note: If the Allow multiple owners for Inventory Part on one Location check box in Site/Extended Site Info/Inventory tab is selected, the entire quantity of the part need not be transferred.

Prerequisites

• The ownership type of the transferred parts must be Supplier Loaned or Customer Owned and belong to the same supplier (in the case of customer owned stock, the supplier connected to the customer).
• When transferring customer-owned parts, there must be a supplier that is connected to the owning customer. This connection is made in the Customer No field in Supplier/Purchase/General.
• When transferring customer-owned parts, the owning customer must allow part ownership transfer. This is indicated in Customer/Order/General.
• The transferred parts cannot be on a pallet.
• The transferred parts cannot be in transit, reserved, or frozen for counting.
• The transferred parts must all be on the same site.
• The transferred parts cannot belong to a rotable pool.
• Transfer of ownership is only allowed for parts that have been received into a stock location, i.e., transfer is not allowed when a part is in arrival, pallet arrival, QA, or pallet QA locations.
• Parts that are serial tracked must not contain any components in its structure, with an ownership and owner other than that of the top part or Company Owned.

System Effects

If the purchase part has not previously been registered, this is done automatically.

If the purchase part has not previously been connected to the supplier, the connection will be made automatically.

A purchase order is created for the selected parts. The purchase order and its lines (one line per part number and condition code) are in status Closed and the lines are identified as received in place. 

The ownership type of the transferred parts in inventory and in Part Serial becomes Company Owned. In addition, the persistent ownership is changed for all components belonging to the structures of serial- or lot-tracked parts that are transferred.

Postings are created with the debit posting type M1, Inventory, and the credit posting type M10, Goods receipt with purchase order.
