Response

Transfer initiated (draft status; GL fires on submit). The data.availability_warnings array lists any line item whose requested quantity exceeds source-location availability at create time (warn-at-create, hard-block-at-ship; NetSuite/Acumatica transfer-order pattern). Draft creation is not blocked, but shipping a short line returns a 400 insufficient_stock. The array is empty when every item has enough on hand at the source.
