Read transfer states
Transfer Lifecycle Advanced gives warehouse teams a controlled way to handle advanced transfer states, bulk actions, rejection, return-to-source, and partial handling. In AWRA, the warehouse is not only a storage place; it is where physical evidence, location truth, and service commitments meet.
The practical goal is to reduce guesswork. Users should know which location, bin, transfer, scan session, device, or receiving record proves what happened before stock is made available or moved again.
In practice, a destination branch receives only eight of ten dispatched units and records the shortage before closing the transfer. The flow below shows the operating sequence users should recognize before they act.
Transfer lifecycle
Request
Source, destination, item, and quantity are proposed.
Approve
Policy owner confirms the movement should happen.
Dispatch
Source sends stock and creates in-transit ownership; the dispatch signature can only be taken before this point.
Receive
Destination accepts full, partial, or rejected quantity, and signs for it while the transfer is in transit.
Close
Shortage, damage, or return path is documented.
Warehouse model
- Transfers have status, ownership, and evidence.
- Bulk actions need confidence in every line.
- Partial receipt must be recorded honestly, and a signature at each end puts two named people around the shortfall.
- Rejected stock needs a return or correction path.
