11 Working with stock transfers
When you monitor the stock levels at your locations, and notice that the stock levels have dropped below your configured stock limits, you can either order new devices to be sent straight to that location, or, if you have stock elsewhere (for example, in a warehouse) you can transfer devices from one location to another.
MyID allows you to manage the transfer of stock from one location to another using stock transfers. You can think of a stock transfer as a box, into which you can put your devices, then send the box from the source location to their destination.
The basic process is as follows:
-
Create a stock transfer "box" to contain the devices.
-
Add devices to the box.
-
Dispatch the box to its destination.
-
Once the box has arrived, mark it as received.
