Transfer stock between stores

Moving stock between locations is a transfer — a two-step handshake: the sending branch dispatches it, the receiving branch confirms it. Stock that left but hasn't arrived sits in transit — so nothing silently vanishes mid-route.

Send stock

1. Open Stock transfers → Create transfer.
2. Pick the source and destination locations.
3. Add items and quantities — only units actually on hand at the source can go.
4. Dispatch it. The transfer enters dispatched status.

Receive it

At the destination branch:

1. Open Stock transfers and find the incoming transfer.
2. Check the shipment against the listed items and mark what arrived.
3. Confirm — the units land in the destination's stock.

The statuses

• Draft — created, not sent
• Dispatched — left the source, in transit
• Received — arrived and booked in at the destination
• Cancelled — voided

Permissions

Creating/dispatching and receiving can sit under different staff permissions — so a cashier can ship to a branch without being able to confirm receipts there.
