INV: Transfer
Overview
You can use the Transfer feature to move Items from one Warehouse to another. Once a Transfer is marked as "Shipped", the record becomes a Usage/Resale record, and can be updated to the General Ledger. The Transfer screen has several tabs of information available. Based on the Transaction Type, the tab focus and required fields vary. For a Transfer, the tab focus is set to Details.
