# Receive transfer order

If you want to use EDI to receive a transfer order from a 3PL warehouse or an external warehouse management system (WMS):

- Set up the required custom messages:
  - XML transfer order to EDI transfer order (940)
  - EDI transfer order to Transfer order
- Set up the related document flow for the external party with the custom XML transfer order to EDI transfer order (940) inbound message.
- Use this setup to receive transfer order confirmations through EDI messages.
