• Any chance that either or both "TransferToCostCenter" and "TransferFromCostCenter" are NULL?

    Not equal won't work on NULL; you'll have to explicitly allow for NULL in the comparison.

    For example:

    WHERE ...

    AND ISNULL(INSERTED.TransferToCostCenter, '-1') <> ISNULL(INSERTED.TransferFromCostCenter, '-1')
