INVENTORY cONTROL

Track inventory transfers more securely

Ensure more complete inventory tracking with Warehouse Transfer transaction definitions. These more robust transaction definitions are provided with every new installation of Inventory Control. They deliver more comprehensive inventory activity tracking compared to the existing Inventory Transfer In/Out transaction definitions.

We encourage all customers who are currently using Inventory Transfer In/Out transaction definitions to start using SYS-Warehouse transfer in, -transfer out, and -in transit transaction definitions.

Inventory Transfer In/Out transaction definitions will not be supported in 2026.

As of the R2 release earlier this year, Inventory Transfer In/Out transaction definitions are not included with new Inventory Control subscriptions.

How it works

To start using Warehouse transfer transaction definitions, do the following:

  1. Configure Inventory Control to enable Warehouse transfers, and if required in your workflow, in-transit transfers.

  2. Edit system-generated warehouse transaction definitions.

  3. For multi-currency companies, define accounts for inter-entity transactions.

  4. Grant users permission to use warehouse transfers.

Action required

If you currently use Inventory Transfer In/Out transaction definitions, switch your existing transaction definitions as follows:

  • Instead of using, Inventory Transfer In, use SYS-Warehouse Transfer In

  • Instead of using, Inventory Transfer Out use SYS-Warehouse Transfer Out

You can also use the additional system-provided transaction definition to track the movement of inventory between warehouses:

  • Inventory Control: SYS-Warehouse In Transit

Set your Inventory Transfer In/Out transaction definitions to inactive to prevent your team from using them (Inventory Control > Setup > Transaction Definitions > Edit).
