#### **Module Location**

#### Inventory > Warehouse Management > Bin Transfer

#### **Module Objective**

#### 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.

### **1. Main View (Transfer List)**

#### The main page of this module displays a list of all bin transfer transaction documents that have been created.

#### **View Explanation**

- #### **View**: This page is a history of all goods movement activities. You can see the **Doc. Number, Transfer Date, Source Bin Code,** and **Destination Bin Code** for each transaction.
- #### **Filters**: You can search for a specific transfer document by **Doc. Number** or a date range.

#### **Button Functions**

- #### **\[New\]**: The primary button to create a new bin transfer document.

### **2. Steps to Perform a Bin Transfer**

#### **Step 1: Create a New Document**

#### From the Main View, click the **\[New\]** button to open the **New Document** form.

#### **Step 2: Fill in General Information**

#### On the form that appears, fill in the basic information:

- #### **Transfer Date**: Enter the date the physical transfer was performed.
- #### **Method**: Choose the input method, whether **Manual** or using a **Barcode** to scan the goods.

#### **Step 3: Detail the Items Being Moved**

1. #### In the table below, click the **\[+ Add Item\]** link to add a row.
2. #### Select the **Item/Service Code** to be moved.
3. #### Specify the **Source Bin** and the **Destination Bin**.
4. #### Enter the **Transfer Quantity** of the goods being moved.

#### **Step 4: Confirm the Transfer**

#### After all the moved items have been entered, click the **\[Confirm\]** button to process the transaction.

#### **Workflow & Integrated Business Process**

- #### **Impact**: After the transfer document is confirmed and approved, the system will automatically update the stock quantity records in both locations:
    
    
    - #### Stock in the **Source Bin** will decrease.
    - #### Stock in the **Destination Bin** will increase.
- #### **Approval**: A document that has been confirmed will likely go to an **Inbox** to be validated by the Warehouse Head before the stock change becomes final.

### **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**.
