Transferring Products Between Warehouses

This guide explains how to transfer products between warehouses when using SimplBooks inventory tracking.

How are inventory changes recorded?
When inventory products are purchased or sold, stock changes are recorded automatically through purchase and sales invoices. However, changes can also be made directly on the Inventory Documents page. From there you can record inventory additions, reductions, and transfers.
📢 Note! Inventory tracking should only be used if you want to continuously monitor how much stock you have on hand. Using inventory tracking adds complexity to your bookkeeping, and we recommend using it only when it adds value to your business.
Quick guide
  1. Create the transfer at Inventory > Inventory Documents > New Document > Transfer Between Warehouses.
  2. Set the transfer date and select the source and destination warehouses.
  3. Add a line, select the product to transfer, and enter the quantity.
  4. Save.
