Examples of Transfer Requests for Receiving

This section provides examples of transfer requests for receiving. The contents of this section provide supplementary information to help you better understand transfer requests for receiving.

This section describes how to transfer data from the iSeries, eServer™ i5, or System i5®, based on the inventory control file INVENTORY and supplier file SUPPLIERS.

The INVENTORY file contains information about the various parts in stock. Each part has a three-digit identification number, PARTNUM. The INVENTORY file contains the names of parts (DESCRIPTION) and the quantity on hand (QONHAND) for each part.

The SUPPLIERS file contains information about the suppliers of each part. Each supplier is identified by a two-digit number, SUPPNO. The SUPPLIERS file contains the number of parts delivered (PARTNO), their prices (PRICE), times of delivery (DELIVTIME), and ordered quantities (QONORDER). The parts listed in the SUPPLIERS file are the same as those listed in the INVENTORY file.
