We have central receiving for our multiple stores and I stumbled over the "Transfer Order Control Mode in the Miscellaneous tab of the Location Settings. I checked Help but didn't find anything on these settings. What do they do?

Thanks

We have updated the help file. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. This will be updated in the next regular maintenance update.

Here is some more information on this feature.

Since RetailEdge allows all data to work anywhere in a multi-location environment, the Transfer Order Control Mode setting allows you to set which locations can edit and receive transfer orders. This can prevent potential data conflicts.

From here you can select:

Controlled by Originating and Receiving Locations (Normal Workflow). This allows only the originating (FROM) location to create, edit and post/unpost the TO. The Receiving (TO) location is the only one that can receive the transfer order.
Centralized Receiving Mode (for operations Centralized Receiving). This allows all work on a transfer order to be done only at the Centralized Location set in the drop down box below.
None. This option allows you to do any work on the transfer orders from any location.

Hope this helps but if you need further clarification let us know.
