Explain an item's quantity in transit field

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The "Quantity in Transit" field in NetSuite refers to the quantity of items that are part of Transfer Orders which have been shipped from one location but have not yet been received at the destination location. This field helps in tracking the movement of inventory between different locations within the same organization. If the "in transit" quantities are consistently returning zero, it could be due to a few reasons: 1. Status Check: Ensure the transfer orders are correctly marked as shipped. If they’re not, the system won’t recognize them as “in transit.” 2. Saved Search or Report Configuration: Verify that the saved search or report you’re using to track “in transit” quantities is configured correctly. It should be set up to show quantities from the moment the transfer order status changes to shipped and until it’s received. 3. Workflow or Script Interference: Sometimes, custom workflows or scripts can interfere with the standard processing of transaction statuses. Check if there’s any custom code that might be affecting the transfer order lifecycle. 4. Permission Issues: Make sure that the roles looking to view “in transit” quantities have the necessary permissions to view the relevant fields and records. To diagnose further, you can create a new saved search from scratch for transfer orders with the status ‘shipped’ and ensure the criteria and results are set up to display the correct fields. Please note that the "Quantity in Transit" field is specific to Transfer Orders and does not apply to Purchase Orders (POs). For POs, you might want to look into the inbound shipment feature if you're trying to track items that are in transit. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
