Transferring stock between two warehouses
What is it for?
When goods leave one warehouse for another, a warehouse transfer removes them from the source warehouse and adds them to the destination warehouse, with a trace in the stock movements.
Inoxal example: 20 square tubes and 10 frame profiles leave Dépôt principal Nador for Dépôt Selouane.
Before you start
- Your organization has at least two warehouses. Adding warehouses requires the Business plan or higher, and so do transfers.
- You have the Warehouseman or Administrator role.
Steps
- Open Inventory → Warehouse Transfers, then New Transfer.
- Choose the Source Warehouse and the Destination Warehouse. The transfer date defaults to today.
- Add a note, for example the reason for the transfer.
- For each item, click Add Item, choose the Item and enter the Quantity.
- Click Save.
The transfer gets a TRF-… reference. Depending on your organization's
settings, it is applied immediately (status Completed) or waits to be
validated.
Good to know
- If the item did not exist yet in the destination warehouse, it is created automatically there with the same reference and details.
- Each warehouse keeps its own stock: in the items list, the same item appears once per warehouse.
- The point of sale sells from the warehouse shown at the top of the till screen.
