2. Select a printer. Choose the printer that will print a Stock Transfer document after data entry is completed.
3. When prompted, select "Regular" text size instead of "Compressed".
4. The Stock Transfer is displayed. This is where the From and To Inventory Accounts are defined. For Bin-Only Transfers, the From/To Inventory Account will be the same.
5. Select a valid "From Inventory Account" by typing in the Inv Acct# and press Enter. Or, to select from a list click the button. The valid Inventory Accounts defined in the Inventory Account Master will display for selection. Double-click, or select the appropriate Inventory Account and press OK.

Note: CustomField1 and CustomField2 are ‘key fields'. The system comes standard with Inquiries and Reports "by CustomFIeld1" and "by CustomField2", so it is important that these fields are populated with data that would be used to search for a specific ARN or Receiver in history.

The active Products defined in the Product Master will display for selection.Note: Pressing ESC at the "Product Code" prompt will NOT exit the line entry.
