What is Stock Transfer?
An inventory transfer, also known as Stock Transfer or warehouse transfer, is the movement of physical inventory items from one warehouse location to another.
Here are some cases that retailers need to do inventory movement:
- Improve inventory availability when you sell items via multiple stores and channels.
- Normally, merchants will have a central warehouse to store products. When receiving requests from stores, warehouse staff will move items from this warehouse to stores.
- Additionally, if one of the stores lacks a few items while they’re selling well, retailers transfer items from other nearby stores to restock quickly.
Do consignment activities. Some businesses will send their items to partners for consignment purposes. These items haven’t been sold yet and are still assets of the business, so merchants need to keep track of these movements as a warehouse transfer.
Manage spoiled, expired, and damaged items. When there are any damaged goods, warehouse staff will have to move them to a separate location.
