    Hi Venatesh,

    The journal is directly moving the goods without any staging. The order is intended to have a transit time. Also you can use e.g. warehouse management features with the order.

    The journal can also be used for corrections.

    Hi Venki,

    With the help of the transfer journal, the Inventory Manager transfers the items from one dimension (warehouse, location, color, etc) to another one instantaneously with short Distance warehouse/site. Sometime it is used to correct the Dimensions (Product/storage/Tracking) of the Product/Item as well within same site/warehouse.

    The transfer order is used for registering in the system the items that must be moved from one warehouse to another (Long distance where shipping required) and for managing this process.

    Process Includes:
    Create Transfer Order
    Pick Items to Transfer (With or Without Picking list registration)
    Ship Transfer Order
    Receive the Items at other end.

    Also Transfer order used where statuary compliance required (GST/Excise gate pass) like in cement industry we used to transfer cement from plant to another warehouse in the same state or other state or one warehouse to another warehouse.

    Thanks
