Interorganization Transfers

Interorganization transfers enable you to transfer material between inventory organizations, which can be necessary if you define multiple inventories, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities as distinct inventory organizations.

In addition to being able to transfer one or more items in a single transaction, you can transfer partial quantities of the same item to different subinventories and locators in a single transaction. The items that you transfer must exist in both the source and destination organizations.

You can create these types of interorganization transfers:

• Direct interorganization transfers

• In-Transit interorganization transfers

Direct Interorganization Transfers

Direct interorganization transfers move items directly between inventory organizations. The destination organization receives the material immediately when you submit the transaction.

In-Transit Interorganization Transfers

In-transit interorganization transfers move items directly from the source organization to in-transit inventory. You usually transfer material to in-transit inventory when transportation time is significant.
