         <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000054" role="glossary">WIP transfers</Link> consist of generating the transfer order, executing the issue,
		and executing the receipt. How these processes are performed, depends on the
		question whether the assembly lines between which the WIP is transferred,
		belong to the same company or not.</Paragraph>
      <GeneralSection>
         <SectionTitle>Single-site</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>In a single-site
		  situation, when the assembly lines are in the same company, these processes can
		  be done manually, semiautomatically, or automatically. This parameter is
		  defined on the Assembly Line in the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/asl/tiasl1530m000" role="session">Assembly Lines (tiasl1530m000)</Link> session.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>The following chart
		  illustrates how the process occurs for each parameter setting. For example, if
		  you select Manual, the transfer order is generated by the execution of the
		  Generate WIP Transfer (Trigger process 1). At the same moment, the warehouse
		  order is unblocked, making the transfer issue possible. The execution of the
		  WIP issue and the WIP receipt must be performed manually when the trigger is
		  set for Manual or for Semi Automatic.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>Description: The
		  concept of process triggering holds that an event at a certain line station is
		  used as a trigger to fire the execution of a session. Following is the
		  description of triggers as mentioned in the table below:</Paragraph>

         <Paragraph>In a multi-site situation, when the WIP is transferred between
		  different companies, the WIP transfer is handled by means of intercompany sales
		  and purchase orders. These orders are handled by <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh" role="package">Warehousing</GUIRef>, which
		  uses the multi-site functionality of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/emm" role="module">Enterprise Modeling Management</GUIRef>. The EMM module also includes procedures for inter-company
		  invoicing, document printing, and so on. The generation of these orders is
