This topic describes how to lend merchandise to a store that is not a store on your Eagle system. There are two ways you can use transfers to track the merchandise. With the first method, you use your store number for both the From-store and the To-store. With the second method, you'll set up an account in Customer Maintenance and then enter an asterisk (*) in the To-store.
Create a transfer request. Use your store number as both the From-store and the To-store.
When you ship the merchandise to the borrowing store, change the transfer status to S (ship) to decrease your quantity on hand.
When the borrowing store returns the merchandise, change the transfer status to C (complete). This will increase your quantity on hand (since you are also the To-store).
If the borrowing store does not return the same quantities of merchandise as it borrowed, make the necessary adjustments at Point of Sale, by creating a POS sales transaction (if they returned less than they borrowed) or a POS credit transaction (if they returned more than they borrowed).
If it doesn't already exists, create an account in Customer Maintenance (MCR) for the borrowing store. For that account, in the Transfer Store field, enter an asterisk (*).
Create a transfer request. Use your store number as the From-store and enter an asterisk (*) as the To-store.
When you ship the transfer to the borrowing store, change the transfer status to C (complete) to decrease your quantity on hand. If setup to do so, accounts receivable will also be updated.
When the borrowing store returns the merchandise, create a transfer adjustment, with a credit reason of R (return) and a status of C (complete). If the borrowing store does not return the same quantities of merchandise as it borrowed, allow for that when creating the adjustment.
