Have you used the In-Transit Inventory Transfer functionality in Dynamics GP 10? Have you found any documentation on it? Probably not. This functionality was adopted from the Field Service series and provides the ability to specify an in-transit inventory location when transferring inventory between locations. Probably the greatest benefit of this is that it allows the receiving location to manage the incoming transfer; to account for overages and shortages, etc.
So how does it work? It’s basically a two-step process:
1.) Create an In-Transit Transfer entry: Transactions >> Inventory >> In-Transit Transfer Entry
2.) Create a Receiving entry: Transactions >> Purchasing >> Receivings Transaction Entry
Two things to keep in mind:
1.) Be sure to specify a “Via Site ID” in the In-Transit Transfer Entry; otherwise the transaction works similar to the Transfer Entry, and the in-transit site is not used. This begs the question, “Why does one specify a “Via Site ID” in Inventory Control?”
2.) Be sure to click the “Ship” button when you want to process the transaction.
Notice that the transactions reside in two different modules; which perhaps explains the lack of comprehensive documentation.

Interesting. I'll have to finally install 10.0 on my workstation and play around with it.
very frustrating! There is really zero documentation on this In Transit Transfer. I need to explain to a client how they can manage the inventory in transit especially if there is shortages that occur during shipment. It seems you cannot do a inventory adjustment off the in transit site. How then can you clear/deal with the items that are not received at the destination site?
shouldnt you make all the reception and then adjust the inventory with the quantity that did not arrive (-)
