Coating In-Transit Stock: Avoid Counting It at Both Locations

Stock moving between locations should not be counted as fully available at both ends. Define the transfer states and the event that changes availability in each inventory record.

Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge

The key distinction

Physical dispatch, receipt and release may occur at different times. A clear in-transit status preserves the quantity while preventing duplicate promises to customers. Reconcile the transfer against actual received identity and condition.

Practical checks

  1. Record the source dispatch and transfer identifier.
  2. Keep in-transit quantity distinct from local available stock.
  3. Close the transfer after the required receiving checks.

Example

Illustrative example: a branch removes stock only after the destination receives it, while the destination adds it at dispatch. During transit, the network report shows the same bottles twice.

Scope and limits

Do not assume received stock is automatically released for use. The actual receiving and quality process still governs availability, even when the transfer quantity reconciles correctly.

Coating Packaging Orders: Account for Version-Specific Stock

Packaging stock is usable only if it matches the current approved product configuration. A warehouse can hold enough labels or cartons numerically while lacking the correct version for the next coating order.
