Creating a Post-Pick Transaction

[Bill Robins <brobins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

V4.0.5... We are having some trouble trying to maintain our inventory sanity 
when
assembling an order.  When we pull the inventory and put in on a pallet, 
obviously
the system doesn't know that that inventory is still there because there wasn't 
a
transaction that relieved it.  We can't transfer the inventory because the 
allocation
doesn't move with transfer (that we know of).  It had been suggested that we 
treat
the B transaction as a pick transaction and then "intelligently" invoice our 
orders.
The accounting people don't want to have an imbalance between what has shipped 
and
what has been invoiced at month end.  Plus, it is faking the system out -- we 
really
didn't ship it, we just put it aside.

We would really like the ability to relieve the inventory from the location we 
pick
from, but keep it allocated to the order.  What we envision at this point might 
be to
have a "special" inventory transfer transaction that will also move the 
allocations
to this new location.

Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with this scenario?

Bill
