International Transfers

This section describes the systems needed to manage the transfer of material between International warehouses. This process adds the necessary additional charges such as duty, exchange and additional freight to the receiving warehouse. It brings the same features used in the transfer system within a single country to international (cross-border) transfer.

The International Transfer process eliminates any double keying of customer transfer orders, and facilitates global views and global selection of inventory regardless of the country. The underlying processes (to convert between currencies and apply duty and/or other charges) are transparent to the user while satisfying accounting requirements.

The examples supplied for the International Transfers feature highlight transfers between the US and Canada. However, this feature can be used by customers having operations in other countries where exchange rate, duty, freight, and supplier rebate tables are applicable to landed cost.
