Internal Transfer Order
When an internal transfer order is created, it generates an order that can be picked and shipped from the origin warehouse to the destination warehouse.

Navigate to the Orders page and click
+ New Transfer.Select Originating Warehouse
From the drop-down menu, choose the warehouse sending the inventory.
Accept Partials (Optional)
If the NO PARTIALS is selected and you are adding an item that is not stock, you will receive an error on the screen
Zero stock available. Enable 'Allow Partials' to add this item to the transfer.Choose ACCEPT to create transfers even if the stock isn’t available. Stock with zero inventory will show a notification on the line item,
Inventory Available: 0.
