Stock Transfers Between Branches

Go to POS > Inventory > Transfers and click New Transfer. Select the source branch and destination branch. Add products and quantities to transfer. The system checks stock availability at the source — you cannot transfer more than what is in stock. Add a reference number and notes. Submit the transfer to initiate it.

Once submitted, stock deducts from the source branch and enters an In Transit state. It does not yet add to the destination branch. This ensures your total inventory count remains accurate during the transfer period. The destination branch can see incoming transfers with expected arrival dates.

When goods arrive at the destination, go to Transfers > Incoming and find the transfer. Click Receive. Confirm the quantities received — if any items are damaged or missing, record the variance. Accepted quantities add to the destination branch inventory immediately. Variances are logged for investigation.

Track total transfers by period, average transit time between branches, shrinkage during transfer, and the most frequently transferred products. High transfer frequency for a product might indicate poor initial stock allocation — use AskBiz's forecasting to predict demand per branch and stock accordingly from the start.
