Stock Transfers Between Warehouses
A Stock Transfer moves inventory from one warehouse to another. The stock is tracked as In Transit until it is received at the destination.
Transfer Workflow
DRAFT → IN TRANSIT → RECEIVED

CANCELLED
1. Create the Transfer
Go to Inventory → Stock Transfers → New.
- Select Source Warehouse (where stock is coming from)
- Select Destination Warehouse (where stock is going)
- Add lines: product, quantity, and optional bin
Save as Draft to continue editing.
2. Initiate (Dispatch)
Click Initiate Transfer. The system:
- Deducts the quantity from the source warehouse
- Marks the transfer as In Transit
The stock is no longer in either warehouse at this point — it is in transit.
3. Receive at Destination
When the goods arrive, open the transfer and click Receive. The system:
- Adds the quantity to the destination warehouse
- Marks the transfer as Received
Stock Ledger Entries
Two stock movements are created:
- TRANSFER_OUT at the source warehouse (negative)
- TRANSFER_IN at the destination warehouse (positive)
No accounting journal entry is created — the asset value stays on the same account, just at a different location.
