Stock Outward & Transfer Reports
Stock leaves a store through Outward — either to fulfil an indent/transfer request from another store, for internal consumption, or as a Correction to fix an earlier entry. The Outward Report lists all outward movements and lets you filter and review them.

The Outward Report
Open the Outward Report from the Item Manager. The report shows every outward movement and offers two filters in the toolbar:
Store filter
A Filter For Stores selector (with assigning-authority support) scopes the report to a single store, or to all stores at once.
Outward type filter
A Filter For Outward Type dropdown lets you narrow the report by the reason the stock went out, including a dedicated Correction option so you can isolate correction entries from normal transfers and consumption.
Correction Outwards
When stock has been outwarded in error or with the wrong quantity, you can raise a Correction outward. Correction entries are tagged with the Correction outward reason so they remain visible and auditable in the Outward Report, and can be filtered out of (or focused on within) the report using the outward-type filter described above.
caution
A correction adjusts stock balances. Always confirm the batch and quantity before submitting, and record the reason, because the entry is permanent and shows in the audit trail.
Indent, Transfer & Acknowledgement Flow
Transfers between stores follow a request-and-acknowledge cycle:
- The receiving store raises an Indent request with the requested quantity per item.
- The sending store reviews the request and Outwards the stock (selecting batches), which can only be actioned while the request is PENDING.
- The receiving store acknowledges the inward to complete the transfer.
The transfer screens display the Requested Qty for each line so the issuing store can compare it against available stock before dispatching.
