Inventory Ownership Transfer

Transfer inventory between owners with accept and approve

When goods change hands inside your warehouse, record the transfer once and let Argos create the matching shipment out of one owner and receipt into the other. Transfers move through a clear created, accepted and approved workflow, and approval produces the shipment and receipt ready to process through your normal workflow.

Questions about inventory ownership transfer

Straight answers, drawn from what the software does today.

Can inventory change owners inside the warehouse?

Yes. A transfer request moves through Created, Accepted, Rejected and Approved statuses, and approving it creates the outgoing shipment and the matching incoming receipt, ready to process through your normal workflow.

Do we have to key the shipment and receipt for a transfer ourselves?

No. Record the transfer once, and approving it creates the outgoing shipment from one owner and the matching incoming receipt into the other. The receipt and shipment numbers are recorded back on the transfer.

Can warehouse staff transfer stock in one step, even to another company?

Yes. Internal transfers create both the shipment and the receipt in one step, including across companies.
