What is the difference between converting a replenishment order to purchase or transfer order in Zoho ERP?
Creating a Purchase Order creates an order to procure items from an external vendor, adding them to your inventory once received. Converting it to a Transfer Order moves items between your warehouses or locations within the organization without involving a vendor. The main difference is whether the stock comes from an external vendor (Purchase Order) or transfer between warehouses (Transfer Order), depending on your requirements.

| Vendor Involved | Yes | No |
| Inventory Impact | Inventory increases after items are received | Inventory moves between locations |
