Identify both ends
Confirm the source and destination before selecting items. A stock transfer is a physical movement between locations, not a customer sale.
INVENTORY / MOVEMENT
Moving goods should not mean losing the trail.
Plan a transfer as a source, a destination and an accountable handoff. Inspect how the configured Agora workflow records the movement and handles the gap between dispatch and receipt.
BUILT AROUND THE WORK
What this means
for your business.
Account for the journey
The sending team and receiving team need an agreed handoff. Define what happens to stock while goods are moving and when the destination may sell them.
Resolve the difference
A short receipt, damaged item or duplicate confirmation needs a deliberate correction. Preserve the reason and ownership rather than silently changing a headline quantity.
THE DETAIL IN BUSINESS CONTEXT
Follow the item, not just the headline total.
A variant at a warehouse and the same variant at a shop have distinct location records. Movement, reservation and correction explain why available quantity changes.
The record identity
Variant, location, quantity and reason are part of an inspectable stock event.
The exception
A short receipt, damaged item or concurrent update requires a decision trail and a responsible person.
INSPECT THE RECORDS AND DECISIONS
The handoff and the receipt are different decisions.
Moving a quantity requires an origin, destination and a record that stays with the goods. A transfer is complete only when the receiving process and its exceptions are understood.
Operating concepts to inspect in your setup; this is not a wire-format schema. Exact API fields belong in the source-derived reference.
- Origin
- The location supplying the goods.
- Destination
- The location receiving and becoming responsible for them.
- Variant & quantity
- The same item identity and count throughout the movement.
- Dispatch evidence
- The record of what was actually handed over.
- Receipt evidence
- The receiving team’s counted quantity and decision.
- Discrepancy owner
- The person responsible when dispatch and receipt do not agree.
If five leave and four arrive
Keep the missing unit visible. Investigate damage, miscount or an incomplete handoff using the original movement identity.
Before automating replenishment
Define which stock measure triggers movement and who resolves an exception. An automated request is not evidence of physical receipt.
