Step 01
Transfer initiated
Source warehouse, destination warehouse, items, quantities, vehicle details captured. Transfer document issued.
Inventory Management | Multi-Warehouse Transfers
Branch transfers with the e-way bill, the place-of-supply and the GL all in one event.
Inter-state transfers generate the e-way bill at dispatch. Delivery challan under Rule 55 issued automatically. In-transit GL posts at dispatch and reverses on receipt. Shrinkage variance flagged with reason code. No side calculations.
How it works
From dispatch to receipt, with compliance handled.
Step 02
Dispatch event posts
In-transit GL posts at dispatch. E-way bill generated for inter-state. Delivery challan under Rule 55 issued for the non-sale movement.
Step 03
Receipt confirms
Destination warehouse confirms receipt. Quantity received vs dispatched compared. Shrinkage variance flagged for reason capture.
Step 04
GLs square up
In-transit GL reverses on receipt. Stock posts at the destination. Variance, if any, posts to the loss-in-transit GL with the reason code.
What the system does
Capability, input, output.
| Capability | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Inter-warehouse transfer | Source + dest + items + quantities | Transfer document with vehicle metadata |
| E-way bill generation | Inter-state movement above threshold | EWB with consignor, consignee, distance |
| Delivery challan (Rule 55) | Non-sale movement | Challan auto-issued at dispatch |
| In-transit GL | Dispatch event | GL posted, reverses on receipt |
| Receipt confirmation | Destination confirms quantity | Match + variance with reason |
| Place-of-supply IGST | Inter-state transfer between GSTINs | IGST applied on transfer value |

Compliance + integrations
Inter-state transfer, by the law.
A Maharashtra-to-Karnataka transfer between two of your GSTINs is an inter-state supply for GST. The system applies IGST, generates the e-way bill, books the ITC at the receiving GSTIN. Intra-state transfers within the same GSTIN post without a tax event.

Multi-Warehouse Transfers FAQ
What buyers ask.
Inter-state vs intra-state transfer. How does GST apply?
Inter-state (e.g., Maharashtra to Karnataka warehouse, different GSTINs) is a supply under Schedule I; IGST applies on the transfer value, ITC books at the receiving GSTIN. Intra-state same-GSTIN transfer (Mumbai warehouse to Pune warehouse, same GSTIN) is not a tax event. The system handles both correctly.
How is the transfer value computed for GST?
Per Rule 28 of the CGST Rules: open market value, or value of like supply, or 90% of the price charged to unrelated customers, or per the cost-plus method. The system supports configurable methods per item category. The CA reviews the policy.
What happens if quantity received < dispatched?
The shortfall posts to the loss-in-transit GL with a reason code (damage in transit, theft, count error). The audit trail captures the dispatch, transit, receipt and resolution. ITC reversal under Section 17(5) where applicable.
Job work under Section 143 movement?
Job-work movement is tracked separately under Section 143. ITC-04 quarterly return drafts from the system. Returns within the 1-year (inputs) or 3-year (capital goods) window are tracked. Beyond the window, deemed-supply tax liability is flagged.
