Preventing Creation of Item Branch Records with Inventory Transactions & Receipts

We are running into an issue where our distribution teams are moving items (IT), adjusting items (IA) or changing the receipt branch (OV), creating the Item Branch record on the fly.

As you know, the default information is copied from the Item Master. In several areas, this default data creates problems:

• No standard costs (especially problematic on receipts)
• Incorrect stocking type (default stocking type is M; but at a store it should be P)
• No MRP sourced from codes (inventory in that new branch falls out of the supply chain)
• Incorrect primary location (uses the first lot/location added to the branch instead of the branch default, creating commit and even decrement challenges and future receipt challenges )
