The Cost Transfers module is split into two sections; Internal Cost Transfers and External Cost Transfers.
Internal Cost Transfers enable you to move costs around the outlet whereas External Cost Transfers enable you to assign an invoice from one outlet to another or to multiple outlets.
Internal Cost Transfers aren't reliant on an invoice whereas an External Cost Transfer can only be made for an invoice created in the current week.
