# Request for Material Transfer for Cost Center

:lock: MaterialTransfer.**RequestforCostCenter**  

## Overview

This operation is used to make a **Material Transfer** request for a Cost Center.

## Setup

In order for the Receive Material Transfer to be fully functional, two customizations must be deployed in Critical Manufacturing's installation:

* To resolve the Material's Flow Path where **Material Transfer** of mode *TransferMaterial* should be received in the *Destination Facility*.
* To resolve the **Materials** from the *Destination Facility* to where *Inventory* is placed for modes *TransferInventory* and *ConsumeInventory*.

## Preconditions

## Sequence of Steps

* To request a **Material Transfer** for a Cost Center, it is necessary to open a *Step View* or *Resource View* and then select the **Material Transfer Request For Cost Center** button to initialize the wizard.
