Product transfer – offer acceptance & cancellations

We have introduced a new offer acceptance step into our product transfer (PT) process. Once a PT is offered you will need to confirm the customer accepts the offer for the PT to take effect.

PTs can be cancelled before they have taken effect, but once a PT has taken effect this cannot be cancelled. Find out how to cancel a PT below.
