Global Preferences - Days in Transit

When transferring merchandise, it is important to know how long the merchandise is expected to be in transit. You can define a default Days in Transit for individual store locations. The default value entered in preferences is updated when the transfer is complete so that the actual Days in Transit is accurately recorded.

Basic Steps for Tracking Days in Transit
1.    Configure Days in Transit preferences with default DIT values for individual store combinations.
2.    A user creates a Transfer Slip and selects the From Store and To Store.
3.    Prism checks if the store pair has a default Days in Transit value defined. If so, the Status is set to Scheduled and the Default Days in Transit value is displayed. If a default Days in Transit is not defined, the Days in Transit and the Status are set to Null.
4.    A user updates the Transfer Slip. Updating the transfer slip will cause either an ASN or a verified Voucher to be generated (preference setting).

• If a verified voucher is generated, the slip's Days in Transit value is updated to the actual value and the Status is set to Verified.
• If an ASN is generated, there is no change to the Slip Days in Transit value or Status. Next, a user generates a Voucher from the ASN. There is no change to the Slip Days in Transit value or Status. Next, a user updates the voucher. There is no change to the Slip Days in Transit value. The Status is set to Received. Next, a user verifies the Slip-Voucher pair in Transfer Verification. The slip's Days in Transit value is updated to the actual value. The Status is set to Verified.

Global Preferences - Days in Transit
In the Global Preferences > Days in Transit area, you can define the default Days in Transit value to use when transferring merchandise between specific Subsidiary/Store combinations. If you have defined Days in Transit for a Sub/Store combo involved in the transfer, Prism will calculate an ETA Date (ETA Date = Slip Created Date + Days in Transit). Note: The user must be at the Corp level to access these settings.
Here, the Days in Transit value for transfers between Subsidiary 1, Store 0 and Subsidiary 1, Store 1 is set to three days.

To display the Days in Transit in Transfer Slip Lookup, you need to add the ETA Date field in Grid Formats. Adding the ETA Date field to the Transfer Slip Lookup grids enables employees to easily see when a shipment is expected.
Days in Transit are calculated based on the To Store (not the From Store).

Updating Days in Transit on Transfer Slips
When a user creates an out slip, Prism will enter the default Days in Transit value on the slip. This enables employees at the destination store to know when the merchandise will arrive and enables more effective monitoring and reporting.
Once the transfer is complete, Prism will update the transfer documents with the number of days the merchandise spent in transit (voucher Post Date - ASN Post Date, or, if a voucher has not been created, Current Date/Time - ASN Post Date). When you click Resolve All in Transfer Verification, Prism corrects the documents' Days in Transit values to match the actual transfer time (In Slip/Voucher Created Date - Out Slip Created Date).
