When your pharmacy sends or receives stock from another pharmacy, the Stock Transfer process should be followed. Following this process will create a record of the stock movement, and ensure accurate stock on hand and unit costs.
Before you can create and issue a stock transfer to another pharmacy, you must first create an A.R Customer record for the pharmacy you will transfer the stock to.
After you have Created a Stock Transfer customer (A.R. Customer), follow the steps below to create and issue a Stock Transfer.
