Transfer

A transfer moves stock from one branch to another. The sender is always your own/active branch, the destination another branch. You manage transfers at /admin/warehouse/transfers.

Locations module required

Transfers require multiple branches (via the Locations/Branches module). Without branches, transfers are not available.

Two modes

How a transfer is booked is defined in the editor:

Mode	Flow
Direct booking	The transfer is booked immediately — stock changes right away
Request → confirmation	The destination branch (or an admin) confirms first, then it is booked

---

Approval toggle

Setting	Description	Default
Branches may request between each other	Allows branches to independently request transfers from other branches	Off

When the toggle is off, only admins manage transfers. When on, branches may request directly between each other.

---

Status flow

In request mode, a transfer goes through several statuses:

1. Requested — the sender branch submits the transfer request
2. Confirmed — the destination branch (or an admin) confirms
3. In transit — the goods are on the way
4. Arrived — on arrival, the stock is booked (outgoing for sender, incoming for destination)

Stock booked on arrival

The stock only changes at the arrived status. Until then the goods are “in transit” and not booked as freely available in either branch.

Detail page

Every transfer has a detail page with:

• sender and destination branch
• current status and status history
• a position list (which articles in which quantities)

The status changes are triggered via the detail page (confirm, mark as in transit, book as arrived).

Check positions

On arrival, check the position list against the goods actually delivered before you book as arrived — the incoming booking follows exactly the listed quantities.
