Branch Transfers

Edited

This document outlines the stock transfer process between branches, detailing possible scenarios and step-by-step instructions for executing transfers effectively.

Possible Scenarios for Stock Transfer

When transferring stock from one branch to another, there are three possible scenarios:

  • Transferring a single item to another branch (Quantity For Hire = 1): In this case, the Branch dropdown at the top of the Item details screen will switch from one branch to another.

  • Transferring multiple items to another branch (Quantity For Hire > 1): The quantity of items listed in the 'Branch Quantities' button in the Item details screen will be reduced at the 'from' branch and increased at the 'to' branch.

  • Transferring multiple items with serial number tracking to another branch (Quantity For Hire > 1): The Branch listed in the 'Serial Tracking' button assigned to that Serial Number will switch from one branch to another.

How to Transfer Stock Between Branches

To transfer stock between branches, follow these steps:

  1. From the main menu strip at the top, navigate to Setup > Items.

  2. Click on the Branch Transfers button.

  3. Click the New Branch Transfer button to open the Branch Transfers (Hire) screen.

    Note: The Status will default to Pending. Use Pending for items leaving the branch and mark as Completed when they arrive at the destination branch.

  5. Enter the date the items were dispatched and left the From branch.

  6. Enter the date the items were received or scheduled to be received at the To branch.

  8. Similar to a Booking/Invoice, select the items via the Code column and enter the Qty if it's a bulk item.

  9. Enter any necessary comments.

  10. Click Save New to complete the record. The quantities at the branches will be adjusted accordingly if the Status is marked as Completed.
