Demo Video
Video Transcription
This is the demo for the VE Mobile Module Interbranch Transfer. We will start by selecting Interbranch Transfer on the scanner and then selecting IBT entry. You could then either scan the warehouse bar codes or select them from the drop down screen. You would then scan your part ID barcode. For this purpose, we are still using the quarter inch plate. Enter in the quantity in which you want to either save and ship or save.
We do have the ability to stage the shipments which would happen if you were to just save, then you could go in and then ship them at a later date. For demo purposes, I will just save and ship at the same time. Enter the quantity, save and ship and then I will get an IBT ID which is this 00061.
Back to if you were to stage the shipment, you had already entered it in so you would go into shipping and the move to this next step that we are at currently. You would go into IBT receiving, enter in that IBT ID which is the 00061, enter and it’s going to show up that location you move from and to. We are now at the MMCSEC location, there’s that part that we shipped and we are receiving it in. We’ll hit enter and submit. You can see the IBT receiving request was sent successfully.
