Stock Transfer Shipment Status Types

A Stock Transfer Shipment can have any one of the following status types: 
  1. OPEN
  2. PENDING
  3. RECEIVED
  4. SHORT CLOSED


Open: 
This signifies that the shipment has been done but has not been received at the destination store.

Pending: 
This signifies that the shipment has only been partially received at the destination store. 

Received: 
This signifies that the shipment has been received in entirety at the destination store. 

Short Closed: 
This signifies that the stock transfer shipment has been closed. A shipment is said to be Short Closed when the sender or destination store knows that the balance (or the entire shipment) will not be completed. In this case the status is marked as Short Closed in both the Stock Transfer Shipment and the Stock Transfer Receipt.

A Stock Transfer Shipment can be short closed only from the Stock Transfer Shipment Screen.
