EDI 3PL Documents - Inventory adjustment - Transfer
A 3PL warehouse, setup as an EDI trading partner, can send inventory adjustments in order to adjust the company’s D365 on-hand for their warehouse.
Processing the Inventory adjustment - Transfer document creates a transfer journal for the stock in the D365 warehouse transferring the stock between From inventory dimensions to To inventory dimensions:
| Transfer between | Applicable EDI staging line fields |
|---|---|
| Batches | From batch number > To batch number |
| Inventory statuses | Inventory status from > Inventory status to |
| Locations | From location > To location |
Optional document settings also allows for automatically posting the transfer journal and creating the batch if it doesn’t exist in D365.
The following subsections will describe how to view and process the Inventory adjustment - Transfer from the 3PL warehouse.
Viewing the Staging table records will also be discussed.

When an EDI file is imported, the file name is key to identifying the trading partner and therefore the document template. See Trading partners for further details. It is based on this document template that the data within the file is identified and a record created in the EDI staging table in the next step.
Note: The file mask is used to identify the trading partner and therefore template
When the EDI file is retrieved and imported, there are various validations that are completed before the staging record is created in the EDI staging table. If the processing of Import to staging errors, the Inbound file’s Status will be set to Error and no staging record created.
