Stock Transfer: Stock Out
As a member of the group, users can transfer stock to other Locations within your group electronically. The default transfer value is set at the store's last invoice cost, however the user has the power to over ride the cost by manually entering a different cost when the transfer is created. The SOH is reduced at the sending store but the ROS is unaffected as movement of stock via Stock Transfer are not included in the calculations for ROS. This prevents the ROS from being artificially inflated. Likewise the transfers are not included in sales reports as they would adversely affect GP otherwise. The Location Stock Transfer program produces a tax invoice & manifest to send with the goods being transferred.
