Multi-location inventory is not one stock balance
Having 100 units across the company does not mean the branch that needs the product actually has them.
Each warehouse should therefore maintain its own balance while management retains company-wide visibility.
How should warehouse transfers work?
- ✓ Select the source warehouse.
- ✓ Select the destination warehouse.
- ✓ Specify items and quantities.
- ✓ Record the movement date.
- ✓ Update balances after completion.
What should you know about each warehouse?
- ✓ Current stock balance.
- ✓ Available quantity.
- ✓ Incoming and outgoing movements.
- ✓ Transfers between locations.
- ✓ Slow-moving inventory.
- ✓ Items that require replenishment.
How can inventory discrepancies be reduced?
Inventory differences are not solved by stock counts alone. Receipts, issues, transfers and returns must be recorded when they occur.
Regular cycle counts can also identify problems before year-end.
Why connect inventory to sales and purchasing?
Every sale should identify the warehouse from which goods were issued.
Purchasing receipts should also enter the correct location so reports reflect real stock movement.
