The Stock Transfer module is used for inter-warehouse stock transfers as well as stock transfers between internal warehouses. It is not for use by Loan or Consignment Warehouses.

When transferring stock across warehouses the relevant business unit (logical warehouse) stock levels will be updated by nominating From and To logical warehouses.

There are three different methods of processing Inter-warehouse stock transfers by using different parameters within the same Inter-warehouse Stock Transfer program. The different types are: Stock Transfer: Picking Slip (menu option 1), Stock Transfer: Invoicing (menu option 2) and Stock Transfer: Already Delivered (menu option 3).

IBT Requisitions from the Point of Sale module are also handled by this program.

Access to the various processes is gained by selecting the sending warehouse and the receiving warehouse, as well as the Carrier code. You can elect to have documents and picking slips printed immediately or in the next batch run. The reference and text fields can be completed for additional information or instructions.

Items are transferred by entering the ISBN and Transfer Quantity. The stock details of each item can be accessed for reference.

The routine can be broken down into the following main categories:
