The Bin Transfer module is a transactional module used to record the physical movement of goods from one storage location (Source Bin) to another storage location (Destination Bin) within a warehouse or between warehouses. This module is crucial for maintaining the accuracy of stock location data in the system so that it matches the physical location of the goods.

Stock in the Source Bin will decrease.
Stock in the Destination Bin will increase.

Tips & Important Notes
This module is crucial for maintaining the accuracy of stock location data. Always create a transfer document every time there is a physical movement of goods between racks, between areas, or between warehouses.
Using the Barcode method can speed up and reduce input errors when processing large quantities of item transfers.
This is a daily work module for the Logistics and Warehouse teams.
