Transfer Orders 2009 R2

We have never had a need for Transfer Orders but now we have. We have one main warehouse - with warehousing picks and put-aways etc. What I need is to set for other locations which I can transfer inventory to when it goes into off site storage.
The other location will not have warehousing and is a third party company. When we have confirmation that our driver has been unloaded - our logistics team will receipt the goods in to the other Location. At some point in the future we will transfer the inventory back to our warehouse.
I am able to ship goods - but they stay in the in transit location and I cannot receive them. I have the location set up with a goods in bin. If I try post the TO I get there is nothing to post. If I try actions functions create whse receipt I get - There are no warehouse receipt lines created.
It was working the other day when I didn't have a bin at the offsite location but we need it to have at least one bin so that we can do a bin contents from the item card and see how much we have in storage. The only articles I can find relate to 2015 / 2016 - anyone point me in the right direction?
