The non-fruitioned sub-species may undergo transition under penultimate Samaya of the duration of impregnation.
The transition is not possible under induction Avali.
There are five kinds of transition whose details could be seen in GK.
The transition depends upon the degree of volitions. With better volitions, there is more transition and the ratio between nontransition / transition is less and vice-versa.
There are many terms used for this process in the verses like Sankramana and Sanchühaṇa, which represent various states of partial or total transition.

Reception Process (Pratigraha, Patat-graha): The word 'reception' means welcome. However, here, it means welcome of karmic species, either in a group or individually, undergoing transition in other species. The text uses two terms for the process, 'welcome' or Reception of species, which are falling from one position (due to transition).
In individual or group of receiving species is called receptor position. The non-receiving species are, therefore, non-receptor positions. The verse 25 mentions its two varieties: (i) maximal and (ii) minimal. The terms mean transition or reception of maximum, minimum or non-minimum number of species at a time.
It is stated that there are only 18 groups of species of deluding Karma, which are receptors. The other 10 species are, therefore, nonreceptors, (see Table 6-7 on notes on verse 28). For example:
