# Transfer Sales Order

A Transfer Sales Order (TSO) is an order for creating a sales order of items that are going to be delivered to another store. These orders are created when you want to internally transfer the goods between stores. Because this is an internal transfer, no invoices or bills are generated during the receiving and shipping of transfer orders. When a transfer sales order is created, its associated transfer purchase order is automatically generated, and vice versa. The correct procedure for processing transfer orders is to ship the TSO first and then receive the Transfer Purchase Order.

***Please Note: Any modifications to the transfer sales order after release will be automatically reflected on the respective transfer purchase order.***

### Creating Transfer Sales Order

Creating a transfer sales order involves entering the store and item details. You will begin by entering the essential header-level information about the order. Once the header-level information is set, you can proceed to add item(s) to the order. This streamlined method enables you to efficiently manage transfer sales orders and easily monitor the movement of goods and services.

*To create a Transfer Sales Order, go to Menu > Warehouse > Transfers > Transfer Sales Order*
{% endhint %}

### Entering the Sales Details

In the header section of the Transfer Sales Order module, you will begin by selecting the sales details, such as source store, destination store, item location, ship date, delivery date, etc.

The new order will be created in the **Open** status. For more details on the purchase order statuses, read [Transfer Sales Order Statuses](#transfer-sales-order-statuses).

You can print this purchase order once it is created using the **Print** button situated on the top right of the page.

#### Transfer Sales Order Statuses

* **Open**: After creating a TSO, it is in open status. This means it has not been finalized and changes can be made to it.
* **Released**: After you release a TSO, it will be sent to the warehousing department, where it will be prepared for shipping. Make sure a TSO has been finalized before releasing. Releasing a TSO also automatically generates its associated Transfer Purchase Order.
* **Partially** **Shipped**: If there are items that are back-ordered (items yet to be shipped), a TSO will be in partially shipped status.
* **Shipped**: This status indicates that all items of a TSO are shipped, and the order has been fulfilled (Shipped).
* **Closed**: A TSO can be closed once it is fully Received or if it is no longer valid.

### Transfer Sales Order Options

The Transfer Sales Order module offers a variety of options at both the header and detail levels to efficiently manage purchase orders.

#### Transfer Purchase Order Header Level Options

These options are located under the "Options" menu in the top right corner of the page. These options influence the overall attributes and workflow of a transfer sales order.

* **Release:** Releases the transfer sales order for further processing and shipping.
* **Void:** Voids the transfer sales order. Voided orders are deleted permanently from the system.
* **Create Wave:** Redirects the user to the **Create Wave** module and initiates the process of picking the inventory from the system.
* **Add To Email Queue:** Places the transfer sales order in the email queue for sending at a later time.
* **Close Transfer SO:** Closes the transfer sales order and restricts any further processing.
* **Link Orders**: This option allows you to establish a connection between the line items in the sales order and the line items of one or more purchase orders. This linkage enables seamless coordination and tracking between the sales and procurement processes, streamlining order fulfillment and enhancing efficiency.

#### Transfer Purchase Order Line Level Options

The Options" menu in the Estimate Details section offers a variety of options to manage the items, while the "Sort By" option allows you to sort the items in the estimate as per your needs.&#x20;

**Transfer Purchase Order Line Level Options**

### How editing a Transfer Sales Order will impact the corresponding TPO?

When making edits to a Transfer Sales Order (TSO), it is important to understand how these changes will affect the corresponding Transfer Purchase Order (TPO).

Editing a Transfer Sales Order (TSO) can trigger automatic updates in the corresponding Transfer Purchase Order (TPO). This ensures that both documents remain synchronized, reflecting the most accurate information.

**Here's a breakdown of how edits affect the TPO:**

1. **Item Quantity Changes**:
   * If the quantity of any item in the TSO is modified, the corresponding TPO will automatically update to reflect the new quantity.
2. **Adding or Deleting Items**:
   * Adding a new item line in the TSO will result in the same addition in the TPO.
   * Deleting an existing item line in the TSO will also remove the corresponding line in the TPO.

**Conditions for Making Changes**

* **Released Status**: Changes to the TSO can only be made when it is in the Released status. This ensures that updates are controlled and tracked accurately.

**Quantity Constraints:** When updating the line quantity in the TSO, the new quantity cannot be less than the sum of the quantities that have already been received and those that are currently being received. This ensures that inventory management remains accurate and avoids any discrepancies between the TSO and TPO.

### Auto-Generating ASN for the corresponding TPO

XoroERP provides the ability to automatically generate an ASN for the TPO (Transfer Purchase Order) once the items on the TSO (Transfer Sales Order) are shipped. This functionality streamlines the shipping process by automatically generating an Advanced Shipping Notice (ASN) for the quantity shipped on the wave as soon as the wave is shipped for the TSO (Transfer Shipping Order).

This feature is controlled by the app config, "**Auto generate ASN in case of TSO**". When this config is enabled, the system will automatically generate an ASN for the shipped quantity on a wave as soon as the wave is shipped for a TSO.

#### How it works

* **Existing Open ASNs:** If a TPO line already has an open ASN, no new ASN will be created, even if the quantity is updated. This prevents duplicate ASNs.
* **Single ASN per TPO Line:** Only one ASN can be generated per TPO line from a corresponding TSO line at any given time.
* **New ASN for Updated TSO Lines:** If the quantity on a TSO line is updated and the line is shipped again, a new ASN will only be generated for the corresponding TPO line *if* the previous ASN for that line has been closed.

### 2. Can I use a warehouse transfer for an international shipment?

Yes. You can use a **Transfer Sales Order** to move stock between warehouses when the transfer requires international freight forwarding.

The transfer order includes shipping fields that can be used to capture the relevant freight and shipment information.

#### Shipping fields

| Field                | Description                                                        |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Ship Method**      | Specifies the shipping method for the transfer.                    |
| **Ship Via/Carrier** | Specifies the carrier or shipping provider handling the shipment.  |
| **Ship Service**     | Specifies the shipping service being used.                         |

***

### 3. Can I partially transfer a Transfer Sales Order or Transfer Purchase Order?

Yes. A **Transfer Sales Order (TSO)** or **Transfer Purchase Order (TPO)** can be edited after release to accommodate a partial transfer.

However, the revised quantity cannot be lower than the quantity that has already been **shipped or received**.

#### Example

Suppose a transfer order contains **100 units**.

If **30 units have already been shipped**, the transfer quantity cannot subsequently be reduced below **30 units**.

You can adjust the quantity for the remaining transfer as long as the revised quantity does not fall below the quantity already shipped or received.

#### To process a partial transfer

1. Create the Transfer Sales Order.
2. Add the required items and quantities.
3. Save and release the order.
4. Create the Wave and ship the required quantity.
5. If necessary, edit the transfer quantity for the remaining transfer.
6. Ensure that the revised quantity is not below the quantity already shipped or received.

For the complete creation process, see [**How can I transfer stock from one warehouse to another?**](https://chatgpt.com/c/6aa1a17a-9580-83ee-87bf-310eeda54198#1-how-can-i-transfer-stock-from-one-warehouse-to-another).

***

### 4. How do I receive transferred stock at the destination warehouse?

The **Transfer Purchase Order (TPO)** is used to receive stock at the destination warehouse.

Once the stock has been shipped from the source warehouse through the Transfer Sales Order, the corresponding Transfer Purchase Order can be used to process the receipt at the destination.

#### Transfer Flow

**Source Warehouse → TSO → Shipment → TPO → Destination Warehouse**

The TPO represents the receiving side of the warehouse transfer.

For instructions on initiating the transfer, see [**How can I transfer stock from one warehouse to another?**](https://chatgpt.com/c/6aa1a17a-9580-83ee-87bf-310eeda54198#1-how-can-i-transfer-stock-from-one-warehouse-to-another).

***

### 5. Can I edit a Transfer Sales Order or Transfer Purchase Order after it is released?

Yes. A released **Transfer Sales Order** or **Transfer Purchase Order** can be edited, including its transfer quantity, subject to the applicable quantity restriction.

The revised quantity cannot be lower than the quantity that has already been **shipped or received**.

For example, if 40 units have already been shipped, the transfer quantity cannot be reduced below 40 units.

***

### 6. Where can I enter international freight details for a warehouse transfer?

International freight and shipping information can be entered on the **Transfer Sales Order** using the applicable shipping fields.

These include:

* **Ship Method**
* **Ship Via/Carrier**
* **Ship Service**
* **Shipping Terms**
* **Shipping Cost**
