# Manage transfer orders

Use a transfer order to move necessary parts between company stockrooms or to a location where an agent can receive them.

The transfer order defines delivery dates, the stockrooms involved in the transfer, and the general status of the order. A transfer order contains one or more transfer order lines which allow the transfer of multiple parts or assets on one transfer order. A transfer order line describes the part, the quantity required, and the status of the part in the transfer process.

The system creates a transfer order automatically when you create a transfer order line. You can add additional transfer order lines to a transfer order as long as the transfer order is in the **Draft** stage. When any of the transfer order lines advance to the next stage, the transfer order stage also advances, and can no longer accept additional transfer order lines.
