Prevent transfers from this many months before initialisationOpen mSupply will not make "picked" inbound shipments corresponding to outbound shipments from suppliers stores that were picked this many months before the date the site was initialised. Similarly, it will not make customer requisitions for internal orders finalised this many months before initialisation. This is to prevent migrated sites generating hundreds of locked inbound shipments when migrating old mSupply Desktop and mSupply mobile sites to Open mSupply
