When approval restrictions are set for transfers, a notification appears under "Transfer Notifications" in the "Notifications" panel on the Home page dashboard.
Transfers that show "Pending Approval" status need approval prior to shipping to destination site.
"Transfer Notes" communicating specific details about a transfer can be added when initiating a transfer. They can be edited in various stages of the transfer: while the transfer is in the status of "New," "Pending Approval," or "Submitted" (for Site-to-Site Transfers or Site-to-Warehouse Transfers), and while the transfer is in the status of "New," "Pending Approval," "Submitted," "Delayed," or "Scheduled" (for Warehouse-to-Site Transfers). "Transfer Notes" will display username of the note creator and the time and date created. Only the note creator can edit or delete a note they have posted.
