Inventory
Stock issues
Move goods between warehouses in the same branch: create the issue, approve it, pick the items and batches actually going, then confirm transit.
Updated 12 September 2026
A stock issue moves goods directly between warehouses in the same branch. With a requisition, one location asks for stock. With a stock issue, nobody asks: you send it. The approval and transit steps still apply, so every movement is tracked.
Create a stock issue
- Go to the left navigation panel.
- Click Inventory.
- Open Material Transfer.
- Select New Stock Issue.
- Click New Stock Issue.
Complete the required details: From Warehouse, To Warehouse, Select Date and Remarks.
Add items to the table. It holds the product name, quantity, rate per item and a calculated total price.
- To add one product, select it from the dropdown and enter the quantity and rate.
- Click Add Another Product for another row.
- To pick several products at once, click Add Items in Bulk. Set quantities on the two-panel screen with the plus and minus buttons.
Click Add Stock Issue to submit, or Cancel to discard. The issue is created in Pending and waits for approval.
Approve it
- Open Inventory, then Material Transfer, then New Stock Issue.
- Open Stock Issue Listings.
- Open a stock issue in Pending status.
The page says the stock issue is pending and asks you to check the contents. A user with approval permission approves it from the action button. The status becomes Approved, and the transfer actions become available.
Pick the items and batches, then confirm transit
- Click the transfer action button. The Select Items to Transfer window opens.
- Check the source and destination warehouses shown at the top.
- Select the products you physically have now. You can send the rest later.
- Click Select Batch and assign batches for the selected products. One batch can cover the full quantity, or you can split the quantity across several batches.
- Click Select Batch again to confirm the assignment.
- Click Confirm Transit.
The status changes to In Transit and the products are marked as dispatched. The transfer appears on the Stock in transit page until the destination warehouse receives it.
Each batch can have its own cost. The batch you pick decides which cost the stock leaves at, so choose it carefully instead of accepting the first batch offered.
Status flow
Pending, Approved, In Transit, Completed, and Void if the issue is cancelled. Each status decides which actions you can take. Depending on the status and your permissions, the details page also offers edit, duplicate and void.
