# Transfers

> Move stock between locations instantly and keep a clear record of every movement.

A **transfer** moves quantity of one or more items from a **source location** to a **destination location**. In Retrac, transfers execute **immediately** — there is no separate "ship" or "receive" step. Stock updates the moment you submit the transfer.

## When to use transfers

* Restocking a retail store from the warehouse
* Loading a service van before a route
* Moving returned goods back to main inventory
* Any internal stock movement between your own locations

For count corrections (stocktake adjustments), use **Adjust stock** instead. For receiving from external suppliers, adjust stock at the receiving location with an appropriate note.

## Create a transfer

1. Open **Transfers** in the sidebar.
2. Click **Create transfer**.
3. Select **From** (source) and **To** (destination). They must be different locations.
4. Add **line items**:
   * Choose an item (only items with stock at the source are listed once a source is selected)
   * Enter **quantity** — cannot exceed available stock at the source
   * Optional per-line **note**
5. Add an optional transfer-level **note**.
6. Submit.

Stock is deducted from the source and added to the destination. The transfer appears in your history with status **completed**.

## Transfer limits

Each workspace has a **transfers per billing cycle** limit based on your plan. The sidebar usage widget and **Settings → Billing** show how many transfers you have used this cycle. Limits reset at the start of each billing period.

## Search transfer history

Use the search box on the Transfers page to find past transfers by note or item details.

## Revert a transfer

**Workspace owners** can undo a completed transfer if it was entered in error:

1. Find the transfer in the list.
2. Click **Revert**.
3. Optionally add a **revert note**.
4. Confirm.

Reverting restores stock to pre-transfer levels and marks the transfer as **reverted**. Reversal movements appear in **Movements**.

<Warning>
  Only revert when the physical stock still matches what the ledger should show after reversal. If goods were already consumed or moved again, adjust stock manually instead.
</Warning>

Members cannot revert transfers — contact a workspace owner if a correction is needed.

## Location access

Members with restricted location access can only create and view transfers that involve locations they are allowed to see. If you cannot select a location in the transfer form, ask an owner to update your [location permissions](/dashboard/team/introduction).

## What gets recorded

Each transfer creates:

* A **transfer order** with from/to locations, lines, timestamps, and who created it
* **Movement** entries (`transfer_out` at source, `transfer_in` at destination)

Review the ledger under **Inventory → Movements**.
