I can't figure out why I'm getting this error message: When the preference to Use In-Transit In Group Average Cost Calculations is enabled, you must use an intercompany transfer order instead of an intercompany purchase order or sales order.

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
The error message you're encountering is due to a specific setting in NetSuite that is enabled. The setting is "Use In-Transit In Group Average Cost Calculations". When this setting is enabled, NetSuite requires you to use an intercompany transfer order (ICTO) instead of an intercompany purchase order (ICPO) or sales order (SO). The reason for this is that when the "Use In-Transit In Group Average Cost Calculations" setting is enabled, it changes the way NetSuite calculates the cost of items. It includes the cost of items that are in-transit (i.e., items that have been ordered but not yet received) in the calculation of the average cost of items. This can lead to discrepancies in cost calculations if an ICPO or SO is used instead of an ICTO. To resolve this issue, you have two options: 1. Disable the "Use In-Transit In Group Average Cost Calculations" setting. This will allow you to use an ICPO or SO without encountering the error message. However, this will also change the way NetSuite calculates the cost of items, which may not be desirable depending on your specific business needs. 2. Use an ICTO instead of an ICPO or SO. This will allow you to keep the "Use In-Transit In Group Average Cost Calculations" setting enabled, and will also prevent the error message from appearing. Remember, if you choose to use an ICTO, you may need to uncheck the "Use Item Cost as Transfer Cost" checkbox on the ICTO screen. This can be done on a per-transaction basis, so you don't need to change this setting system-wide. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******

I recently unchecked the "Use In-Transit In Group Average Cost Calculations" setting and am still getting this error message.
