POS Receive Items and Stock Transfer Guide

A guide for retail users who need to keep counter-side stock practical and up to date without leaving the broader POS and store workflow.

Inventory & POS POS Inventory End-User Guide

Overview

Some businesses manage part of their stock movement close to the retail counter. These screens help staff receive items or move stock in a way that supports POS trading.

Where To Find It

Path: POS > Receive Items and POS > Inventory Transfer

Use these screens when the POS side of the business must receive stock or move stock between locations as part of daily retail control.

How It Works

QBM provides POS-oriented receiving and transfer tools so users can update stock availability for the selling environment without switching mentally into a completely different workflow.

Main Areas

Area What It Means When To Use It
Receiving Updates stock when items are physically received into the relevant selling or storage area. Use it when items arrive and should become available for retail activity.
Transfer Moves stock from one location or POS-related area to another. Use it when stock must be shifted to support demand at another counter or location.
POS item detail Shows the product information relevant to POS handling. Use it to verify that the right item is being received or moved.

Recommended Workflow

  1. Open the appropriate POS inventory screen for receiving or transfer.
  2. Select the item or items involved.
  3. Confirm the source and destination logic if a transfer is being used.
  4. Enter the quantities carefully and save the movement.
  5. Check that the stock is now visible where the business expects it.

Best Practice

  • Use store and location names consistently so transfers are easy to review later.
  • Confirm quantities before saving because stock movements affect selling availability.
  • Use the broader inventory guides when the movement belongs in a full warehouse workflow rather than a POS-facing one.
