Procurement transfer order

A transfer order can be created in several ways, and the Sterling Order Management System Software will create a procurement transfer order depending on the parameters that are set.

A transfer order is created by Sterling Order Management System Software when:

• The final shipping point to the customer is one of your nodes (or a 3PL node or a node owned by same legal entity)
• The shipping node does not have enough stock and needs to be replenished from another node that you own to fulfill the order

Sterling Order Management System Software creates the procurement transfer order at the time of scheduling the original order if:

• The ship node and the node you are procuring from are passed in the order line, or
• Sourcing rules are used and are configured to use ship nodes instead of distribution rules.

The transfer order is created in "reserved" status. You should configure the release agent to release the transfer order. Since an order release is created on the transfer order for communication, the communication date can be controlled.
