IC500 - Transaction Interface

Run IC500 (Transaction Interface) to process inventory transactions from an
input file. IC500 uses  the same logic used in several inventory transaction
forms to process the  input  transactions: receipts (IC20), issues (IC21),
transfers (IC22),  intransit  receiving (IC23), and adjustments (IC24). IC500
updates  successfully processed transactions to the appropriate transaction
form(s),  Then, it releases the  transactions to the Inventory Control system
and  immediately updates inventory stock-on-hand quantities.

You can run IC500 to process files uploaded by the handheld terminal and
routed to IC500 by IC588 (Handheld Processing). To process handheld terminal
transactions, you must set up IC500 jobs and parameters according to the
requirements for handheld  processing. For details of preparing IC500 for
handheld  processing, see the  Procurement Management  Technical Guide.

IC500 prints a list of transactions with fatal errors,  such as invalid
location or item number. It updates transactions with  nonfatal errors, such
as insufficient stock-on-hand quantities or lots on  hold, to the appropriate
transaction form as unreleased transactions. You can correct and then release
transactions with nonfatal errors to the Inventory Control system.
