In case of orders with cross-docking quantities, the journal also creates a corresponding Transfer Order to replenish the stores by transferring goods from the warehouse, or a Sales Order to replenish the stores from other companies. - Transfer Replenishment Journal:
The journal creates Transfer Order documents to replenish the stores, or Sales Order documents to replenish the stores from other companies.
