Definition of the Stock Transfer Business Process

Stock transfer of materials refers to the movement of inventory from one location to another within a company's supply chain. This could involve transferring materials between different warehouses, production facilities, or retail locations. Stock transfers are typically done to optimize inventory levels, meet customer demand, or reallocate inventory to different locations based on changing business needs. This process helps ensure that materials are in the right place at the right time and can contribute to improving operational efficiency and reducing costs.
