Stock transfer in the warehouse app
Move goods by scan from one storage bin to another – individual items or the whole bin, with a put-away suggestion and a check of the target bin.
Under Internal → Stock transfer you move goods within the warehouse from one bin to another. Every transfer is a booking – the stock is correct immediately.
You need the permission Transfer stock and maintain replenishment. Without it, the menu item is not shown.
Step by step
- Tap Stock transfer and scan the source bin.
- You see what is on the bin. Scan the item or tap it in the list.
- If there are several items on the bin, you can choose Transfer whole bin instead – the quantity step is then skipped.
- Enter the Quantity (everything on the bin is suggested) and tap Continue to target bin.
- Scan the target bin. The app shows a put-away suggestion for it.
- If comments are mandatory for transfers in the warehouse, enter a Comment (at least 3 characters).
After the booking you stay on the source bin as long as there are still goods on it – so you can transfer several items in a row.
If, according to the system, the source bin is then empty and the warehouse requires a check, the app asks Bin empty now? With Yes, bin is empty the bin counts as counted; with No, there is still something a count task is created, which you can complete right away via Count now.
Scanning
- Items via EAN/GTIN, item number or GS1 code; UPC, MPN, supplier number and pack EAN are also recognised.
- If you scan a different bin in the item step, it becomes the new source bin.
