Inventory Transfer
Inventory Transfer moves stock from one warehouse or branch location to another within your business. It reduces stock at the source and increases it at the destination. An in-transit status tracks goods while they're being moved.
Create a transfer
- 1
Go to Inventory → Inventory Transfer → New Transfer.
- 2
Select the Source Warehouse (where stock is moving from).
- 3
Select the Destination Warehouse (where stock is moving to).
- 4
Enter the Transfer Date and an optional Reference Number (e.g., truck number or delivery challan number).
- 5
Add line items: select each item and enter the quantity to transfer.
- 6
Save — stock at the source is immediately marked as 'In Transit' and deducted from the source warehouse.
- 7
When the stock arrives, go to the transfer record and click 'Receive'. This adds the stock to the destination warehouse and closes the transfer.

E-Way Bill for inter-branch transfers
If you're transferring goods between branches in different states, or if the consignment value exceeds ₹50,000 even within the same state, you need to generate an E-Way Bill. ABSS links to the E-Way Bill portal from the inventory transfer screen for quick generation.
