A new functionality has been added in D365 FO to allow users to cancel transfer orders which have been shipped by mistake. Previously users would have to complete the original Transfer order and then create a new Transfer order to reverse the shipment.
Here are step-by-step instructions on how to cancel transfer orders in Dynamics 365 FO that have been shipped by mistake.
**This functionality needs to be enabled through ‘Feature Management’ Workspace.

The steps for canceling a Transfer Order are defined below:
1. Create and ship a Transfer Order
Create a Transfer Order to Ship from Warehouse 51 to 61.
Note: 55 is the Transit warehouse

When the user clicks on ‘Yes’ the transactions are reversed and a new record is created in the Transfer Order history showing the reversals.

The status of the transfer order is set back to ‘Created’

Note: If you shipped one line by mistake, you would still have to cancel the whole shipment. The ability to cancel a single item on a Transfer Order does not exist.
