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.

Inventory transfers can be used in the following processes:
