Stock Transfer

Stock transfer is the movement of inventory items between different branches.

To do that, proceed to MobiPOS CloudSync and log in to your account.
Then, click on Stocks at the top navigation bar and select Stock Transfer from the drop-down list.

Please note that only items with matching names in different outlets can be transferred.
For example, if you wish to transfer a 'Vege Burger', ensure that 'Vege Burger' exists in both Western Cafe and Western Cafe 2.
Additionally, stock transfers can only be completed when both outlets have the exact same unit of measurement and conversion unit configured.

The drop-down list will display the items with matching names in both outlets.
