How to use Batch transfers

Normally, you will have to go to the warehouse location whenever a transfer occurs. If there are many stock transfers, you will have to travel many times to different locations. To solve this problem, the Inventory Management Application provides a Batch transfers feature to support users in performing multiple transfers at the same time.

Feature activation

To activate this feature, you navigate to Inventory > Configuration > Setting, at the section Operations you check on Batch Pickings > Save.
