Hi,
ST/OT:
A Transfer Order is used to transfer inventory from one branch to another.
The Transfer Order (P4210) program creates both a Sales Order (for the
shipping branch) and a Purchase Order (for the receiving branch). Because
the default document types created are ST (sales order) and OT (purchase
order), a transfer order is often referred to as an ST/OT.
*Sales Order:* By processing the Sales Order through Ship Confirm (P4205)
and Sales Update (R42800), the on hand quantity is decremented for the
shipping location and write journal entries reducing inventory and
increasing an Inventory Intransit account. Interbranch Revenue and Cost of
Goods Sold may also be written.
*Purchase Order:* By processing the Purchase Order through Receipts (P4312)
and Voucher Match (P0411/P4314), the on hand quantity is incremented for the
receiving location and write journal entries increasing Inventory and
decreasing the Inventory Intransit account. The Inventory Intransit account
then nets to zero.
Hope this helps.
