Usage breakdown

Who trades X12 944 Warehouse Stock Transfer Receipt Advice

944 is used most heavily in logistics & transport and grocery & food.

The 944 is the warehouse's confirmation of what was physically received on an inbound stock transfer, sent after the goods are checked in. The depositor uses it to post the received quantity into available inventory at that location and to reconcile the receipt against the 943 shipment advice, closing the inbound loop the 943 opened. Suppliers require it because inventory at a 3PL is not sellable until the receipt is confirmed in their own system. Sent by the 3PL or remote warehouse back to the supplier or manufacturer that shipped the stock transfer. An inbound stock-transfer shipment is unloaded, counted, and put away at the warehouse.
