1. Overview

A slip seat is a specific rural store location which our guests are able to have their products transferred to the store itself for pick up. This means the product goes from the DC to that independent store location. Should a slip seat guest want one of TDG’s delivery services, this eliminates the need to transfer the product to the store level. The delivery will have the product moved from the DC to the guest’s home. 

IMPORTANT: For slip seat transfers to be set, ALL stock must be received prior, & guest must be spoken to in order to arrange a transfer

4. Arranging Transfers Procedure

Use the following procedure for Arranging Transfers: 

1. Go to the merchandise tab & confirm if all stock is reserved. (if so proceed to step 2

2. Go to the customer tab. Set the estimated date for today’s date 

3. Change the ship location to either 986, 987, or 989, depending on which store you are transferring the product to. A pop-up notification will show up looking like the following: 

4. The above notification is letting you know what the soonest transfer date available is based on capacity in the calendar.  

5. Select either the soonest date available, or if the guest wishes to pick up at a later date you may set the transfer for then, but it must be within autofill (7 days from today’s date). If you set a transfer for a date outside of the autofill period, it will cause the stock to un-attach. This is an issue because the transfer locations are not set up to auto reserve product like a main distribution center (777, 866, 883, 888, 885), so if you un-attach the stock, the product will never reserve unless you restore the order to its original receiving warehouse.  

6. Once you have selected the transfer date, leave the status EST. 

7. Once you have completed this, set the contact status to FIRM for the day after the transfer date. 

8. Leave notes in the audit text stating that you scheduled the transfer for the specific date. 

9. To confirm the transfer date, go to the merchandise tab, click actions, then click Line-item linked document display This will show you the transfer date set for all pieces.
