Inventory Transfer Object

The inventory transfer object contains details related to transferring of inventory between two storage locations. The object identifies both the source and destination inventory storage locations, the product items and quantities transferred and any required serial numbers or batch numbers.

Each inventory transfer transaction is a one-way process, meaning inventory moves from one storage location to another. If two technicians would like to exchange multiple items between them, it will require two separate transactions.

Through the use of Flex Attributes it is possible to collect additional information or data inputs during the transfer process.
