Both an Outbound Transfer and an Inbound Transfer must be done.
Outbound Transfers are created by the store sending items to another store. This decrements the inventory of the sending store (This does not increment inventory of receiving store.)
Inbound Transfers are created by the store receiving items from another store. This increments the inventory of the receiving store. (This does not decrement inventory of sending store.)
Transfers proceed as follows:
