Inter-Branch Transfers

Moving Stock Safely

Transferring high-value inventory from a secure central warehouse to a retail branch is a high-risk activity where shrinkage (theft/loss) often occurs. Oishia forces a strict two-step verification process to ensure absolute chain-of-custody.

Tutorial: Executing a Transfer

1. Step 1: Dispatch (Warehouse). The warehouse manager creates a new Stock Transfer document. They select the origin (Warehouse) and the destination (Branch A). They scan the 50 items into the transfer box and click Dispatch. The inventory is now placed into a virtual "In Transit" holding location.
2. Step 2: Receiving (Retail Branch). The delivery truck arrives at Branch A. The branch manager opens the same Transfer Document in their system. They must physically pull the items out of the box and scan them one by one.
3. If the manager only counts 49 items, they cannot simply close the transfer. The system will flag a missing item. The manager must either reject the transfer or accept it with a documented variance, immediately triggering an alert to the loss prevention team.
