What is a stock transfer?
A stock transfer moves inventory between your own locations — warehouse to warehouse, warehouse to store, or warehouse to a marketplace fulfillment centre. The units stay yours throughout, so they are in transit rather than sold, and both the sending and receiving location have to reflect that or the total count goes wrong.
In-transit stock is where multi-location counts most often break. Deducted at the origin and not yet received at the destination, it disappears from availability for days unless the system tracks the transfer as its own state.
