The Inter-Facility Transfer (IFT) System is designed for companies with multiple warehouses that are physically separated from each other. Companies need the ability to easily and efficiently transfer inventory between multiple facilities. These companies also need the ability to track the goods being transferred while they are in transit, and to control when the amounts being transferred are received into the system. This is important because the system uses inventory on hand quantities for purchasing and other processes, and there may be a substantial amount of time between the shipment of the goods out of the source warehouse and the subsequent receipt of the goods in the destination warehouse.

Vendor shipping is an essential part of the Virtual Warehousing paradigm. Imagine having the ability to ship goods directly to your customer's dock from your vendor's warehouse. This capability is built into SaaS ERP Stream Vaast. Cove Systems, Inc. calls these shipment types Vendor Ships. This integration of these transactions avoids faux transactions being entered in your inventory file for shipments that never touch your shipping dock. Many systems require an entry into and out of your inventory file to record these transactions. SaaS ERP allows tracking these transactions for later 3 Way Matching in the AP system, without recording the inventory movement. 3 Way Matching requires all trade invoices to have a matching PO and Receiving Document in order to be processed in AP.
Inventory control is the cornerstone of any distribution business and it is essential to profitable Distribution, Assembly, Manufacturing, and Wholesale operations.
