Transfer Request

When a branch needs some stock they can either get it from a Purchase, Factory or Transfer order. When stock is being sought by means of a transfer from another branch then a Transfer request is raised in the same fashion that a purchase order would be raised to request stock from an external supplier.

Whenever a transfer is viewed from the receiving branch it is known as an "Internal Order". This helps to distinguish the document as an incoming document.

The best system is for a branch to raise the Internal Order , transmit it to the supplying branch (this may be done as part of the overnight exchange), and then wait for the goods to arrive.
