Stock Transfers & Internal Moves
How does stock move between bins, sectors, and warehouses?
An internal move transfers stock between slots, sectors, or whole warehouses — including down the hierarchy to branch warehouses. Each move is a two-phase record with a transport asset and gate, so in-transit stock is a status, not a mystery.
How it works
A move names its source and destination at the granularity that matters: bin to bin inside a site, or warehouse to warehouse across the network. Because branches are child warehouses in the hierarchy, branch replenishment is the same transfer record, not a separate feature.
Moves run in two phases — dispatched, then received — so stock that has left one location but not yet arrived at the other is explicitly in transit. The transport asset carrying the move and the gate it passes through are recorded on the transfer.
Transfers keep the ledger honest: relocations are transactions with references, so the stock position at each site reflects moves the same way it reflects purchases and sales.
What it records
Bin-to-bin and site-to-site
The same transfer record covers slot changes inside a warehouse and moves across the network.
Two-phase status
Dispatch and receive are separate steps, so in-transit stock is visible as a state.
Transport asset and gate
The vehicle or equipment carrying the move and the gate used are on the record.
Branch supply
Supplying a branch is a hierarchy-aware transfer to its child warehouse.
What this touches
- Multi-warehouse network
Cross-site moves run along the warehouse hierarchy and its gates. - Stock ledger & visibility
Transfers are ledger transactions, keeping per-site positions accurate. - Storage locations & slotting
Bin-level moves update the slotted location of the goods. - Distribution
Outbound customer dispatch is its own flow with vehicles, carriers, and gates.
