Several of our branches work as “hubs” for other locations. For example- Branch 1 may need an item from Branch 2, but there is no direct truck that delivers between the two. All items for Branch 2 come out of Branch 3. So when Acumatica creates a transfer request from Branch 1 to Branch 2, inventory winds up sitting in Branch 3 for some time first. How can we help with this process inside Acumatica, to better track items while they are in Branch 3?
Question
Transfers involving a "hub" Branch
+4Branch3 is in fact a warehouse rather than a branch and it can be linked to branch 2.
Branch1 and 2 will also have a warehouse each. Then its simply a case of transfers between warehouses. Replenishment settings for Branch2 warehouse can come from its other warehouse.

Maybe I didn’t explain well.. This process is exactly what we do for branch to branch transfers. They’re all set up as warehouses. But there’s a 3rd branch involved. While Branch 1 has replenishment settings to Transfer from Branch 2 (where the stock is) there are no trucks that go directly from 1 to 2. So when we Prepare Replenishment for Branch 1, it creates a Transfer Order from Branch 2- just like it should. However- it has to come to Branch 3 to get from one to the other. I don’t know how to accommodate for the inventory that moves from 2 to 3 and how to let warehouse know that it goes to 1. Does this make more sense?
