Description

In-Transit Handling gives you full visibility and control over goods that are on the move.

The app is built around Business Central's Transfer Order functionality, extending it with tools that make the full in-transit process straightforward to manage. Purchase orders can be received directly into a transfer location — for example a harbour in China — and a transfer order to your sales location created with ease. The expected receipt date is calculated automatically starting from the purchase order, taking the transfer time into consideration based on how the goods are being transported and who the supplier is. Whether goods are moving by sea, air or road, your planning and customer promises are always based on realistic, accurate dates.

The goods are tracked throughout the journey, giving you a clear picture of what is in transit, where it is heading, and when it is expected to arrive at its final destination.
