Transfer Orders Posting Effect on the General Ledger

Transfer orders are created in Order Entry to create a transfer document to the transfer-to location (transfer-out). On the purchasing side, transfer orders are received into the transfer-to location (transfer-in). The entire process requires general ledger postings for both transfer-out and transfer-in of merchandise.
