Accounting for a Stock Transfers

Workday generates accounting for stock transfers based on ownership of goods:
  • FOB Destination: Goods owned by the shipping site. Workday creates accounting entries at put-away in the destination site.
  • FOB Origin: Goods owned by the destination site. Workday creates accounting entries at shipment. Workday generates additional accounting at put-away, if the stocking location has different worktags from the inventory site.
