Automatic Site to Site transport task

Hello, 

I am looking to see if there is a way within IFS to automatically initiate a Transport Task between two Sites. Essentially, I have a part that is produced in Site A. However, we store it in Site B. I was hoping that this could be accomplished with Putaway Zones and Remote Warehouses, but it appears that will only work in a single Site. 

I already have the Inventory Part record setup for Site B, so the act of manually transferring parts works, but an automated Transport Task would be much more efficient than having users monitor the locations and I do not see Distribution Orders as being a practical solution for this (PP, SFPP, etc.). 

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello.

There is currently no standard way of achieving this. As you have stated the Putaway zone etc are site specific.

Advice is to create a custom event to trigger on the receipt into a specific location for the specific parts, this executing the creation of the transport task to the alternative site.

Regards,

Jamie
