IFT or Interfacility Transfers are used to process internal transfers of inventory on hand quantities between physically separate warehouse locations. IFT sales orders are created as type L (loaner or shipper) orders by the Purchasing System automatically when an IFT purchase order is entered into the system. Since an IFT order is used only for internal purposes, and since the items being transferred are tracked in the Pending file while they are in transit, the logic used for IFT orders is different than that used for a sales order that is associated with a customer.
The following section shows how the customer and internal or house PO fields are loaded when an IFT sales order is created as an IFT PO is saved. IFT processing is described in more detail in the documentation for the purchasing system.

In the case of an IFT, customer purchase order information is not carried in the order as the IFT sales order is used only for internal purposes. The internal PO information is carried through the sales order to allow the system to record the associated PO in the invoice and pending records that are created when the IFT sales order is completed.
