Fuel transfer for trimming

Given a number of large aircraft can transfer fuel to trim/adjust the CG in flight, what is the status of that fuel that is shifted? By that I mean, is there an amount of fuel that can only be used for that purpose and not consumed? Or, as the fuel disappears from the main tanks, does the need for a transfer to adjust/trim etc become less and the fuel that was earlier used for that purpose now available to be used?
