Transfer orders and transfer costs

DXSteel extends BC transfer orders with line-level cost tracking and automatic cost assignment. The Transfer Line Cost table stores costs per transfer line; automatic costing computes costs from route or manual entry. Dedicated codeunits handle shipment undo.

The extensions

Element	What DXSteel adds
Transfer Header	Fields for transport, shipment method, transfer route.
Transfer Line	Costs-present flag, line total cost.
Transfer Line Cost	Separate table holding several cost lines per transfer line.
Automatic Transfer Costs	Cost master links costs automatically based on route.
UndoTransferShipment codeunits	Reverse a posted shipment with cost rollback.

Field reference

Field	Purpose
Transfer Cost	Sum of line or header costs.
Transfer Route Code	Reference to the route master; drives automatic costs.

Workflow

Create a transfer order with From location, To location, lines.
Set Transfer Route Code. DXSteel uses Automatic Transfer Costs to find matching cost codes.
Open Transfer Line Costs to add extra costs manually.
Release, post shipment, post receipt.
Undo: on a posted shipment use UndoTransferShipment to reverse the posting; DXSteel rolls back costs too.

Best practices

Configure Automatic Transfer Costs for fixed freight per route. Saves manual entry and keeps cost prices consistent.

On shipment undo, all cost lines come along. To add new costs after undo, re-add them explicitly.
