Supporting documents
- Prepare issued transfer document and handover documents.
- The item record and stock position in the relevant warehouse.
Completing and checking data
- Check the item, unit of measure and warehouses involved before continuing.
- On the ‘Transfers between warehouses’ page, open the transaction and compare source warehouse, destination warehouse, item, quantity and transferred value with supporting documents.
- Compare the outgoing and incoming sides of the same pair. Do not double the transfer value by adding both directions.
- After confirmation, compare the movement in the item record with the stock position. In double-entry accounting, check the journal entry and its posting separately.
The movement has a supporting document and can be tracked in stock and accounting.

Practical example
Move 10 items from Warehouse to Store. In the transfer, check the item, quantity, source and destination, then confirm the movement. Warehouse decreases by 10 and Store increases by 10; the company’s total quantity does not increase, and the transfer is not a sale.
Frequently asked questions and solutions
The quantity or value does not match the documents.
Check the date, warehouse, unit of measure and previous movements. Correct the source or reverse a confirmed transaction through its workflow; do not enter a fictitious offsetting movement.
Stock is updated, but the trial balance excludes the transaction.
Check the journal entry exists and is posted. Reconcile stock movements and general-ledger recognition separately.
Document quantity does not match stock. Where should I check?
Compare the item code, unit of measure, stock location and date, then follow movements in the item ledger. Check transfers and already-recorded operations. Do not enter an unsupported adjustment merely to obtain the expected quantity.
