Inventory transfers
An inventory transfer is a document that records inventory movement between your company's storage locations, or other inventory-related operations:
- Transfer. Move inventory between your company's storage locations (warehouses, departments, and points of sale).
- Charge to expenses. Write off inventory and allocate the related expenses to a specific department.
For example, write-off damaged inventory items that were in use in a department.
To record inventory write-off without allocating the related expenses to a department—for example, during stocktaking—register an inventory write-off document instead. - Equipment sign-out. Issue inventory to a department for temporary use.
- Return of equipment. Return inventory that was earlier issued to a department.
