Goods transfers provide an easy way to transfer products (goods) between warehouses and warehouse locations within the ERP.
Goods transfers allow users to quickly and efficiently perform movements of inventory, ensuring accurate tracking of stock and maintaining real-time visibility across all warehouse locations.  Goods transfers can be initiated for various purposes, such as restocking, fulfilling production requirements, reserving material for work orders or reallocating inventory to meet demand. The system supports detailed documentation of these transfers, including quantities, transferred items, source and destination warehouse locations and a short description, ensuring transparency and intuitive **trackability** in conjunction with **stock** **transactions**. # Create new goods transfer # Update existing goods transferThis action requires the **"Update** **goods** **transfer"** permission.
Goods transfers should generally not be edited/updated, because their data is directly tied to stock transactions, which are critical for tracking, validating and maintaining accurate stock levels.Descriptions of goods transfers can be changed, but all other information should not be updated.
**Altering goods transfers can disrupt the integrity of inventory records** and lead to discrepancies in stock validation processes. To ensure consistency and compliance, any changes to stock movements should be managed through proper adjustment or reversal procedures rather than editing existing transfer records.
# Delete goods transferThis action requires the **"Delete goods transfer"** permission.
Goods transfers cannot be deleted directly, due to the stock transactions that are connected to them. Because of this, goods transfers need to be canceled first.Goods transfers with no stock transactions, such as "**Failed**" transfers, can be deleted without being canceled first.
Once a goods transfer is "**canceled**" and there are no existing stock transactions tied to it, it can be deleted from the table.  # Cancel goods transferThis action requires the **"Cancel goods transfers"** permission.
Goods transfers cannot be deleted directly, due to the stock transactions that are connected to them. Instead, they need to be "**canceled**" first. When canceling a goods transfer, make sure that it is the last transfer to/from the source location (last transaction in the lot). Trying to cancel a goods transfer that is not last will result in an error being shown.  To cancel a goods transfer, go to the details page of goods transfer and open the **"Danger zone"** section.  You will see a button, labeled as **"Cancel".** Click and confirm the button to cancel the goods transfer. This will rollback any changes to the stock, done by the goods transfer, as well as delete any stock transactions, tied to this goods transfer.After the process in finished, the status of the goods transfer will then be updated to "**Canceled**".
 When goods transfer cannot be cancelled (i.e. the error **"Transactions exist after this goods transfer."** appears), that usually means a transaction after this transfer has been created for one of the items on this transfer. To find the problematic item, list all items in the "[Goods transfer Items](https://placeholder.erp/goods-transfer-items)" table and open every item's **Lot**.  On the **"Lot"** page, open **"Stock transactions"** section, and check the **"Show goods transfers"** checkbox. All transactions, created after your goods transfer, are the reason, why the goods transfer cannot be canceled.  # Goods rebooks # OverviewProducts can be converted into other products by "**rebooking**" them with goods rebooks.
**Goods rebooks** are used to correct or adjust inventory records to address discrepancies or changes in stock management while preserving data integrity. Goods rebooks are commonly used to fix errors in inventory transactions, such as incorrect quantities or item codes, recorded during goods receipts or stock movements. Goods rebooks also enable the reallocation of inventory between locations, warehouses, or categories, such as reclassifying damaged goods or quality-assured stock. [](https://how-to-erp.dewesoft.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-12/s5oimage.png) Additionally, they help align physical stock with financial records during audits, ensuring accurate inventory valuation. Rebooks are essential for reclassifying items due to changes in usability, such as converting defective goods into scrap or changing purchased work equipment into fixed assets. Most common use for goods rebooks is to rebook goods between different product codes (SKU-s). But not all product types can be rebooked to all other product types. This is managed through the **"rebook matrix".** # Create new goods rebookThis action requires the **"Create goods rebook"** permission.
New goods rebooks can be created in the **"[Create new goods rebook](https://placeholder.erp/goods-rebooks/create)"** form, or by clicking the "**+**" button above the **"Goods rebooks"** table. To create a rebook, a description is required.
To add product(s) for rebooking, click/scan the **"Manage goods rebook items"** button.  Select the product, whose stock you want to rebook (From product) and the product, which the stock should be rebooked to (To product). Selecting the warehouse location of the stock that will be rebooked is also required. Once the "From product" is selected, a list of warehouse locations with stock appears.If "From product" has stock tracking by enabled, serials need to be selected.
With the current and target product selected, enter rebook quantity, how much of source product's stock to rebook. With all data entered, click/scan the **"Confirm"** button, an [](https://how-to-erp.dewesoft.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/dKyoutput.gif)When doing a goods rebook, keep in mind that not every product can be rebooked into every other product. Rebookability is managed through the rebook matrix, which determines which product types can be rebooked in to which other product types.

**Altering goods writeoffs can disrupt the integrity of inventory records** and lead to discrepancies in stock validation processes. To ensure consistency and compliance, any changes to stock should be managed through proper adjustment or reversal procedures rather than editing existing records.
# Updating booking date on goods writeoffsThis can only be done by users with permission to update goods writeoffs.
To update booking date on goods writeoff, click the **"calendar"** icon in the **"booking date"** field.  A calendar will appear, that provides an easy way to set a new date. Once the booking date has been updated, save the goods writeoff. If you get an error, refer to the section below.

 When **transactions** **after** **the** **new** **booking** **date** **exist**, that means those transactions have to be updated as well. To find all (serial) transactions after the new booking date, go to the page of the serial, linked to the goods writeoff item, and open the "**stock** **transactions**" section. Here, tick the **"show transfers"** checkbox. Transactions are sorted by the date of creation.

# Stock movement # Obsolete stock report # Report At the beginning of each year, we generate an obsolete inventory report for the previous year. Each report is associated with a specific year. For example, if the report is generated at the start of 2026, it will be recorded as the report for 2025. Reports from previous years remain unchanged and are preserved as historical records. When viewing a report, the displayed data is interpreted relative to the current year. How to read the inventory report 1. If inventory has a 2–3 year value, but part of it was used during the previous year, only the remaining difference is considered for the inventory write-down, calculated at 75%. 2. If there is a 2–3 year value and no movement occurred during the year, the entire value is subject to a 75% inventory write-down. - If inventory has a **1-year value** and there has been **no usage during the year**, the entire value is subject to a **50% inventory write-down**. - If inventory has a **3+ year value** and there has been **no usage in the last 3 years or more**, the entire value is subject to a **100% inventory write-down**.
