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.

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.
