When Branch A is out of stock and Branch B has excess inventory, rebalancing stock is smart. BPS POS 2-Step Inter-Branch Transfer tracks goods while "In-Transit" so inventory is never lost between locations.

Two-Step Inter-Branch Transfer Flow
Follow these step-by-step instructions inside your BPS POS dashboard to configure and operate this workflow seamlessly:
- Step 1 (Dispatch by Sending Branch): Branch A creates a transfer order to Branch B. Status sets to In-Transit; stock leaves Branch A.
- Transit Stage: Central reports show units safely accounted for under "In-Transit Inventory".
- Step 2 (Arrival at Receiving Branch): Branch B receives the physical shipment and clicks Actions → Receive Shipment.
- Verify Received Quantities: Branch B confirms physical unit counts.
- Confirm & Stock In: Status updates to Received / Completed; stock reflects on Branch B’s active billing counter.
