There has been some cases lately, when in customers transfer orders have been completed, both shipment and receipt executed and visible as posts in Posted Documents, but when we examine Item Ledger Entries we don't see both entries, one for shipment and one for receipt, but only the first entry for shipment.

Have there been any known issues or bugs related to such a behavior or are there any hints for further investigation you might supply?

Hi,

Can you please check if there are any Posted Purchase Receipt created for these transfer orders?

If Yes, Click on Find Entries action in the Action ribbon and check if any Item Ledger entry and Value entry is posted or not.

This will help you find cause. Let me know the result so we can identify this issue.

These are transfer orders from warehouse to warehouse, no vendor is related. Is there any reason the system would create Purchase receipts in this case?

If you are using transfer orders then you need to look at the settings for each warehouse location. Under the warehouse fast tab you can see what activities are required.

Transfer orders are only used for moving between your locations setup in BC. They won't involve vendors or customers. If a location requirements shipments then you will see a warehouse shipment for that transfer order. If the receiving location needs a warehouse receipt then you'll see a warehouse receipt.

If none of those settings are selected you still need to post a shipment and receipt but they will show as posted transfers:
