Stock transfer in the warehouse app

GuideLast checked on 18/10/2026

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

  1. Tap Stock transfer and scan the source bin.
  2. 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.
  3. Enter the Quantity (everything on the bin is suggested) and tap Continue to target bin.
  4. Scan the target bin. The app shows a put-away suggestion for it.
  5. 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.
