Move stock between warehouses
Transfers, receipts and issues outside sales and purchases.
Sales and purchases move stock for you. A stock entry handles everything else: moving goods between warehouses, issuing stock for internal use, or receiving stock without a purchase.
Start a stock entry
Type Stock Entry in the search bar at the top of any screen and press Enter. Select Add Stock Entry.
Choose the type
Set Stock Entry Type: Material Transfer to move stock, Material Issue to use it, or Material Receipt to add it.
Set the warehouses
Choose the Default Source Warehouse and, for a transfer, the Default Target Warehouse.
Add the items
Add each item and quantity, or scan barcodes. Batches and serial numbers are asked for when the item tracks them.
Submit
Select Save, then Submit. Stock and its value update in both warehouses.
Good to know
- Use Add to Transit when goods take time to arrive, so they are not counted in either warehouse on the way.
