Transfers
Transfer document fields and move-line status lifecycle.
A Transfer moves inventory items from one storage location to another, within a warehouse or between warehouses. The office document tracks status; the physical pick at the source and placement at the destination are performed by operators at a ToolingMetrics WAP terminal.
