Transfer Order Enhancement

Streamline your inventory transfers with Transfer Order Enhancement for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This extension brings powerful features to your transfer order process: approval workflows, automatic item reservation, multi-location dimension management, and intelligent quantity defaults.

#Feature Highlights

#Transfer Line Details Factbox

Business Central's standard Sales Line Details factbox provides valuable item insights at a glance. Our extension brings this same capability to transfer orders, giving warehouse staff immediate access to availability, costs, and item attributes without leaving the transfer order page.

#Item Transfer Blocks

While Business Central allows blocking items for sales or purchases, no such control exists for transfers. This extension fills that gap—mark items as blocked for transfers to prevent accidental or unauthorized movements between locations.

#Default Transfer Quantity

Reduce manual data entry with automatic quantity defaults. Configure once in Inventory Setup:

#Auto Reserve Item

Prevent inventory conflicts by automatically reserving stock when transfer orders are created. This ensures items designated for transfer aren't accidentally allocated to sales or production orders.

Setup reservation policies on items

The Reserve field on the item card provides the option to configure reservation policies for specific items.

#Multi Dimensions

Maintain complete dimension traceability when transferring goods between locations. Each location's dimensions flow through to Item Ledger Entries, Value Entries, and G/L Entries—essential for accurate cost allocation and financial reporting.

Workflow Templates

You can automate the process of approving new or changed transfer orders by enabling the Transfer Order Approval workflow.
