How to request stock from another location
When a branch is running low, it shouldn’t just help itself to another branch’s stock. RushFlow’s Transfer Requests let a location request replenishment from another, get it approved, and then raise the actual transfer — a controlled request-and-approve step before stock moves, so branches coordinate instead of competing.
Step by step
- Raise a requestWeb: Transfers → Requests → New. Set the destination (the location that needs stock), optionally the source (or “Any source”), and the product lines and quantities. It starts as Draft.
- Submit and decideSubmit the request; an approver Approves or Rejects it (a rejected request can be resubmitted). Approvals and rejections record who decided and when.
- Fulfil itOnce approved, raise the actual stock transfer, then mark the request Fulfilled (you can note the transfer number).
A request, not the transfer itself
A transfer request tracks the ask and the approval — it does not move stock on its own. The actual movement happens when you raise the transfer, which remains the authority for stock. This keeps replenishment orderly without double-moving inventory.
Frequently asked questions
Can a branch request stock from another branch?
Yes. A branch raises a transfer request for replenishment; it’s approved or rejected, and once approved you raise the actual transfer and mark the request fulfilled.
Does a transfer request move stock?
No. It tracks the request and approval; stock moves only when you raise the actual transfer.
