Transfer Reconciliation

Head office can reconcile the phases of a Transfer order as all movements of a transfer order are eventually transmitted to the head office files. Where electronic transmission of the document has enabled the Requesting and Supplying branches to utilise the same document reconciliation is very easy. Either the total sent quantities match the total Received quantities or the document is not reconciled.

Where the request was made on a separate document to the document used to supply the goods (ie. the supplying branch had to manually enter the Transfer at their end), it will be necessary to match up the two documents. The easiest way to do this is to look at the total month to date transfers. If these balance out to zero you are reconciled. Note that if any transfers are still in transit at the end of month this will make it somewhat harder to reconcile.
