Refill stock with an automatic transport task IFS9
Hi,
I would like to know if it’s possible to generate automatic transport task from Warehouse Navigator on IFS 9 ?
We have 2 remote warehouse :
Site A
Remote warehouse 1
Remote warehouse 2
I would like parts in warehouse 2 to be refiiled from warehouse 1.
I went to Warehouse Navigator and saw there is two ways to refill our parts ( Stock or Buy).
Refill as Buy is working well → generate PO
But when we put Stock nothing happens → I would like Stock create a transport task, is it possible ?
Maybe it’s not the right way to do it, if you have any solution I am open to suggestions .

Hi Nicolas ,
Yes this is possible to generate an automatic transport task to refill a remote warehouse through the warehouse navigator.
Could I please ask do you want both the warehouses to be Remote type ?
Let me explain the logic behind refilling. In order to refill stocks from one warehouse to another through the Transport Task you need to have a warehouse with stock available and a lower putaway zone ranking than the warehouse which is needed to be refilled.
Refilling happens from lower level ranking warehouse to a higher level ranking warehouse.
To do that through the Storage Zone window , create a Zone and attach two warehouses separately to each zone.
Once done in the :
Inventory Part Window / Putaway Zones TAB / Inventory Part Value TAB , provide warehouse and ranking.
Rank 1 : Should goes to the warehouse which need to be refilled
Rank 2 : Should goes to the warehouse which has stocks available
When this setup is available , system generated an automatic transport task if your part has the refill source set as : Inventory.
Please confirm whether you need to have both warehouses to be remote warehouses.
Thank You,
Lumini.
Hi Lumini,
Indeed my mistake, I only have 1 warehouse as remote one.
I did your setup on rank , and it’s working well ! Now I can generate a transport task with Warehouse navigator .
Thanks you so much,

@Lumini Sahabandu@Nicolas H. is this only applicable if we have a remote warehouse setup?
