What it does
Receive a transfer — the stock arrives and books into the receiver.
RECEIVE against an in-transit Transfer (partial + repeatable): per landing ONE value-NEUTRAL transfer_in entry @dest (in_transit -> on_hand | held reason-coded) + the doc rollup stamps. Completing every line chains to received emitting receive.ok ONCE; an incomplete receive from partially_received stamps rollups WITHOUT a state change. UNDECLARED over-receipt refuses CONFLICT/DISCREPANCY — the / DECLARED lanes ride the same call: surplus books dest+ at the line's FROZEN at-ship unit cost (stamps unplannedQty; never the source book — custody), wrong-item arrivals book QTY-ONLY at a named dest-LF junction; FSM edges derive ONLY from ordinary receipts (a receipts-empty call posts movements without touching the doc status). The LF-status matrix HEALS here (any status — in-transit stock must land); the destination IIs must be ACTIVE (CONFLICT/REF_STATE else — reactivation is free). Requires the doc CURRENT revision (OCC) + the unrestricted capability.
Careful
Receive what actually arrived; shortages become residuals to resolve, not silences.

Returns
Transfer Transfer! — A stock transfer: ONE shipment event moving stock between two LogicalFacilities of the SAME org group (the never-cross-group law IS the tenancy boundary; the source and destination ORGS may differ = intercompany, attribution stamped at birth). LIGHT weight (same physical location — birth-derived from the LF-PF-PFL spine) completes in the ONE submit step (no reserve, no in_transit). Cancel is pre-ship ONLY; cancelled is the ONE doomed terminal (lists filter it); completed/closed are IMMUTABLE non-doomed history — a write there refuses CONFLICT/IMMUTABLE.
